Valențe artistice în gravura moldovenească din anii ’70–’80 ai secolului al XX-lea
Artistic valences in the Moldavian engraving of the ’70s and ’80s of the XX century

Summary/Abstract: Although residing in the evolutionary character of the Soviet graphics from the previous post-war period, the Moldavian engraving of the ’70s and ’80s of the XX century is an important compartment of the contemporary plastic art. In the present paper, the technical figurative aspects, thematic predilections and artistic procedures used by graphic artists in their graphic creation during the seventh and eighth decades of the previous century will be analyzed. We also propose to perform a selective analysis of the stamps executed during the reference period, which attests to the original solutions of the artistic subjects, in order to reveal the distinctive aspects of the compositional organization of the artistic image and to obtain the symbolic-significant expressions of the artistic content. In the seventh decade of the XX century, the graphic stamps of the plastic artists were revealed, many of whom activated in the previous period: I. Bogdesco, I. Tabarta, L. Beleaev, V. Coval, V. Cojocaru, Gh. Guzun, V. Lavrenov, E. Childescu, D. Savastin, Gh. Vrabie, A. Colibneac, F. Hamuraru, I. Cavarnali, V. Coreachin and others. A distinctive aspect of the evolution of the Moldavian engraving after 1980 is the fact that during this period in the artistic space of the Republic, there emerged a plethora of young graphic artists such as N. Coreachina, N. Danilenco, V. Kuzmenko, R. Cutiuba, I. Liberman, S. Zamșa, E. Zavtur and others, whose creation marked a new phase in the constitution of the contemporary national engraving of the end of the XX century.
