Literature And Graphic Arts In Moldova

Folklore, fairy stories, historical songs, heroic epics, ballads, lyrical songs, and other forms of oral literature predominated in the nation before written literature emerged. Old Church Slavonic was the earliest written language to be used in the nation, and it was used for historical and sacred literature. In Moldova, secular writing began to emerge before the end of the 17th century. There is a lot of crossover in this period's literature between Romania and Moldova.

The first works of Moldovan art include icons from the sixteenth century and paintings found in monasteries. The 19th and 20th centuries saw a flourishing of Bessarabian arts. Such artwork emphasized rural scenery and ideas. Today, Moldovan artists pursue numerous types of art. Moldova has many art schools and galleries, which encourages aspiring artists to pursue a career in the visual arts.
