The given article reflects the evolutionary changes of the Moldovan figurative painting in the first half of the 1970s. Since that period the figurative painting has tended to overrun the previous plastic and semantic possibilities initiating a cosmopolitan approach of the universal pictorial image. The plastic formula of the Moldovan figurative painting implements new structural and constructive concepts, which tend towards a superficiality of the decorative shapes, being concerned with the structural and textural combinations and associations. In some works, it compresses the figurative form to a rigid, geometric and monumentalized structure, describing a constructive-architectural approach, while in others it strengthens the plasticity of soft lines and the grace of nonconstructive specific characters, of a fantastic expression, describing a conventional-exceptional approach.
