description Alexandru Plămădeală (1888–1940) is one of the most outstanding personalities, who undoubtedly contributed to the promotion of modernist cultural-artistic values, as well as to the formation and development of the national art school. A valuable heritage is the artist’s plastic creation in the genres: sculpture, drawing, graphics, painting. In this article we tend to present the creation of master Al. Plămădeală in the field of easel graphics. The collection of the National Museum of Art of Moldova and the funds of the National Archive have numerous study drawings of the human figure, several dozen portraits and just a few landscape compositions. The works show the high artistic culture of the plastic artist, manifested both by the manner of composing the drawing on the sheet, and by the graphic interpretation of the imaging. Made in pencil, charcoal, sanguine or ink, pen – these highlight the artistic sensitivity of the author in order to capitalize on formal expressions in nude drawings or in rendering individual character traits, subtle emotional states of the characters represented in the artist’s portraits.
