Summary/Abstract: The concerns for theatrical decorative art of the MSSR arise mainly between the second half of the 1940s and the late 1960s. The study of the complex processes that develop in the first two postwar decades helps determining and outlining new directions and trends in theatrical art. The evolution of Moldovan scenography and creation of new directions in the theatrical decorative art is determined by the activity of renowned painters-scenographers who carried out their professional activity in the most prestigious cultural centers of the country. Scenographers Anatol Şubin, Konstantin Lodzeiski, Boris Sokolov, Anton Mater, Nicolai Alentiev, Boris Piskun and others belong to a pleiad of painters-scenographers that define the criteria and draw the paths for the development of the professional scenography in Moldova. They contributed to the diversification of the scenic language through various principles and forms of plastic expression, and to the increase of modalities of solving visual framework. Under the sign of seeking innovative forms of expressions and new means of space organization, the artists had to move along a complicated path. With the advent of painters with special training in scenography, the modern approach towards the creation of the visual image was acknowledged.
