Summary/Abstract: The Romanian artistic and musical cultural activity has to be analyzed not only from the moment when big Romania was formed. In this approach, it is necessary to take into account the Romanian perenniality in the main historical regions. In the second half of the nineteenth century we witness a sudden flourishing of Romanian culture. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, but especially after the Great Union in 1918, we witness an unprecedented cultural flourishing. The fulfillment of the national ideal had beneficial effects by affirming modern artistic schools and currents, by synchronizing with the European and world movement of ideas, by creators of Lucian Blaga (in philosophy and literature), Nicolae Iorga (in history and culture in general), George Călinescu (in literary history and criticism), George Enescu (in music), Constantin Brâncuşi (in sculpture).
