Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 1970s the implementation of new tendencies in the organisation of the scenic space in Moldovan theatrical scenery art continues. Relevant transformations are observed both in the elaboration of the semantic concept of the spectacle and in the methods and means of organising the decor. Thus, a new phase in the development of theatrical art comes into being, directing new solutions of expression in the artistic creation of Moldovan scenography. Concurrently with experienced scenographers like A. Şubin, B. Socolov, and C. Lodzeiski the younger plastic artists N. Andronati, A. Crivoşein, I. Puiu, A. Jeludev, V. Palii, P. Balan, V. Kantor, G. Kantor-Molotov are commencing their work. This generation of professionally trained artists has been able to realise in a practical manner the opportunities emerging at the time. Over the decades, the painters’ dependence on the theater has become more and more evident. Nevertheless, their research continued along the general course of Moldovan scenography development. This was arrived at by virtue of the critique, creativity and significant assimilation of the main achievements of the scenographers in the country, which contributed to a significant increase in theatrical culture. The work of the Moldovan theatrical plastic artists in the second half of the 70s echoed the main processes of the Soviet scenography. Although some subjective factors of the development of theatrical art in the republic influenced the terms and the degree of its manifestation, the Moldovan scenography took its rightful place in the Soviet art, promoting and augmenting its finest scenographic achievements.
