Abstract:
Many times appreciated, the creation of the sculptor Claudia Cobizev (1905-1995) was repeatedly reflected in specialized studies by art critics Ludmila Toma (1976, 1978), Sofia Bobernaga (1988), Ana Marian (2007, 2018). In the work of Claudia Cobizev. Sculpture (1988, Moscow, "Sovetskii hudojnik", 17p., ill, in Russian) Sofia Bobernaga reflects the creation of the sculptor. Although her work belongs to the "flourishing" period of socialist realism in the arts of the Moldavian SSR, it contains a deep artistic message, being undeniably varied in its visual aspect. Referring to the great variety of the sculptor's approaches, which constitutes "a wide range", as the art critic noted, her work includes works made in small-scale artworks, easel sculpture and monumental artworks. In terms of domains approached by the artist, Sofia Bobernaga classifies them in the genres of portrait, composition on current themes (thematic composition - author's note), the historical genre or that of genre composition, compositions on socialist work topics, etc. A double success of creative works – that of the sculptor Claudia Cobizev and that of the art critic Sofia Bobernaga, who highlighted her work, is reflected in this study of the history of plastic arts.
