Summary/Abstract: In the period 1970–1980 in the Moldavian SSR, new tasks were issued in the field of artistic presentation of books, in which the construction of the book will gradually become a priority. The change of trends specific in the evolution of the design was demonstrated in 1972, within “Te First Exhibition of Drawing in the Russian Federation” (I всероссийская выставка рисунка) on the premises of the Russian Museum in Leningrad. If by the mid 1960s, the graphic art was going through a period marked by the perception of the epic of the Soviet art, then by the 1970s, like in the 1920s, the lyrical side increases in the context of Soviet art and again the individual side of perception and refection of life appears. Although until early 1960s the tones of black and white were used only in their direct, tonal meaning, after the 1970’s the “white” and “black” gain almost a symbolic, indirect or figurative sense. The tonal contrasts, the invoice and the texture of the sheet, the graphics load gain a new semantic and artistic connotation. These aspects can be seen in the creation of Gheorghe Vrabie, Leonid Nikitin, Isai Carmu, Alexei Colibneac, Alexandr Hmelnitki, Arcadie Antoseac, Anna Evtusenco, Lica Sainciuc and several artists trained in the conditions of the 1970s.
