Graphic artist and painter, studied at the Kiev school of art (1906-09) in St. Petersburg Academy of arts (1909-15).. S. Samokish. P. V. Miturich entered upon an independent career in a close circle of young St. Petersburg artists, United by a search for more vigorous and acute artistic language, but does not reject the traditional foundations of depiction.

A scenic portrait of the composer A. S. Lurie, Maurice written in 1915, generic spot colors do not match with boldly thrown over them the sharp contours of faces and figures, creating a sense of mobility and energy. Fast, childishly simplified picture inspires book for children "a Tale of literate children" (1919) and music collection S. A. Lurie, "piano in the child" (1920).

However, the main place to work Miturich took his numerous drawings with ink, pencil or charcoal. Sketched from nature modest landscapes with sharply revealed by the rhythms of the trees, houses, fences create a sense of extremely close looking of the artist in space (cycles of landscapes depicting the area of the village Santalovo, 1922; Khvalynsk, 1926-29).

In the portraits Miturich relaxed-calm posture people are amazingly combined with the feeling of their intense inner life ("Portrait of Vera Khlebnikov", 1924; "portrait of the violinist", 1925, etc.).

Especially dramatic curious intensity difference between the two drawing depicting Vladimir Khlebnikov, who died in front of Miturich (1922). Friendship with him, admired his creativity has spawned a series of works Miturich in which he tried to graphically Express the spirit of the innovative poetry of Khlebnikov, to combine the texts of the poems with them rhythmically related graphics - patterns of branches or just intersecting lines, with the movement of handwritten lines.

In 1922 the artist moved to Moscow. His later paintings come closer to a particular kind, to a lesser extent subordinate to its acuteness of concentrated experience. But they retain the artistry bold touch, with impeccable precision clinging space and form; in them the same freshness of experience and live the fullness of creative dialogue with nature (a series of landscapes of Kislovodsk, 1933; pike Perch, 1937 and 1939; Hosts, 1955; portraits of contemporary artists).
