He soon abandoned this cause and took up easel painting. Ioganson"s work was inspired by that of Repin, that is exhibiting certain features of Impressionism, and was often narrative in nature. A sense of theatricity is present in his paintings, probably due to his studies of theater design under Korovin.
Some graduates of Ilya Repin Leningrad Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture studied in Boris Ioganson Workshop (1930-1950s): Alexey Eriomin, Nikolai Baskakov, Valery Vatenin, Nina Veselova, Maya Kopitseva, Oleg Lomakin, Valentina Monakhova, Nikolai Mukho, Anatoli Nenartovich, Mikhail Natarevich, Semion Rotnitsky, Mikhail Trufanov, Yuri Tulin, and Felix Lembersky.
In 1922, he helped found the AKhRR, and abruptly transferred into the realm of Socialist Realism. Possibly his best-known work was "Interrogation of the Communists" a piece thoroughly representative of Socialist Realism but with piercing elements of Romanticism, in addition to an exploitation of some elements of Futurism.
