Summary/Abstract: The figurative painting from 1975–1980 outlines the fourth and last tab in the evolution of the general stage of national treatment of form. The period marks a new sub-stage with a unique character, specific to the socio-cultural environment of the time. Artists print a series of new creative implementations that change the plastic and semantic formula of works through an experimental approach. The plastic and semantic character of figurative painting acquires a series of distinct peculiarities, interested in searches in the area of romantic expressionism and irrational surrealism, gradually opting for schematic modeling that advances towards a decorative syntax. At the same time, the experiment with the plastic-coloristic invoice increases the dematerialized perception of the figurative image, thus adjusting the affective sensitivity of the contemporary environment to anassociated metaphorical image. At the same time, the semantic message focuses on noticing the qualitative features of the figures and pronouncing the values of the inner universe of man. Sometimes the message emits the depth of thought and spiritual-affective valences, through inverted plastic suggestions, with a sensitive connection to the perceptual imaginary. The new intentions predispose the figurative painting to a process of reanalysis of theusual relationship between image and idea, in the intention of expressing the pure unidealized and unwritten values of the social environment. These reduce the well-known data of the form to a pure schematism, intensely directed after a theatrical dramaturgy, in order to obtain the metaphorical perception of the subject. Through these implementations, Moldovan figurative painting manages to overcome the stage of national treatment of form, placing itself on the platform of the modern course of international painting
