Tenno Sooster, \u00dclo Sooster\u2019s son, called him \u201cBoba,\u201d as did other people close to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boris Zhutovsky connected people and eras not only through his memory and his gifts as an artist and memoirist. He always wanted to think freely; he was hungry for life, for people, for new impressions. And he was generous - he loved giving gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Tenno\u2019s recollections, about conversations in Boba\u2019s studio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Boba, you said that you and my father used to cook a compound for paintings together, but yours is pliable, while my father\u2019s is hard as stone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Well, we were searching - each of us was cooking his own \u201cporridge\u201d\u2026 \u00dclo was searching for the eternal - he saw himself far ahead, as a classic\u2026 He wanted time to have no power over it. In the end, Lida suggested the compound to him. She was from the theatre - a set designer; something out of theatrical secrets\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Boba said, pulling out a board:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Here! \u00dclo made this in \u201967, put it on the radiator to dry and forgot about it. The board lay behind the radiator for 50 YEARS! We were renovating and found it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-image-gallery uagb-block-eea7f961\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div
