Peisajul urban în pictura Moldovei din secolul al XX-lea – începutul secolului al XXI-lea
Urban Landscape in the Moldavian Painting of the XXth and the beginning of the XXIth centuries

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article highlights the specific problems, solved by the painting artists, in line with the general trends of plastic art development in the Republic of Moldova. At the beginning of the XX century, sketches prevailed, coupled with the unique desire to perceive the leisurely life of a provincial city. The unpretentious motifs reflected unexpectedly the observations and the state of mind of the authors even after the institution of the Soviet power. The tendency of the transformation of nature into lyrical images became a stable one in the creation of many artists. In the mid-1960s, the tendency towards decorative and monumental expressiveness grew. The re-evaluation of the experience of the European plastic artists was especially fruitful, fact confirmed not only by large-sized paintings, but also by the sketches, which thanks to a well-thoughtful idea obtained the value of the realized image. Almost all artists’ creations are linked to Chisinau where most of them live. The “tourist’s vision”, which reflects the impressions of the journeys in other regions, also becomes typical including landscapes with easily recognizable architectural constructions. However, the developed perception of the plastic imagination of the artists can often lead to unexpected interpretations of the objects. The aesthetic value of the works is in accordance with the originality of the author’s thinking, his ability to inspire the technical material, the unrepeatable intonations of artistic expression.
