Summary/Abstract: Bacovia's work ranges within the evolution of Romanian symbolism reached at its maturity having Al. Macedonski, Mircea Demetriad, Traian Demetrescu, Stefan Petica, Dimitrie Anghel, Ovid Densusianu, Ion Minulescu as reference points.Bacovian works constitute the fourth stage, the stage of authentic symbolism, and the use of authentic and spontaneous symbols, of chromatic suggestions through intermediary hues in order to preserve the idea of impression, the conversion of musical instruments into poetical motifs as well as the special expressive structures create a specific unique universe.Bacovian lyrics continue to impress through the poet's effort to adopt a direct language with meaningful values capable of rendering human experience, be it at a certain period of life or overwhelmed by a sinister usually irremediable mood.In poetry, the bacovian atmosphere distinguishes itself through the harmony of inner and outside scenery and above all through the complementarity of space and colour.
