  Abstract:   The Great Union of 1918 had a benefic impact on Romanian culture; it influenced not only the former Kingdom, but also - and especially - the reunited territories: Transylvania, Banat, Crişana, Maramureş, Bassarabia and Bucovina. Profound political and economic changes caused an upsurge of latent creative energies within Romanian society. This changes affected life-styles and mentalities in human communities by way of a subtle convergence with the unfolding of similar artistic phenomen in the European cultural space. “The first-young generation of Romanian artists in Ardeal contemplated a desolated and puzzled landscape. Before the Union, no cultivated independent art had existed in Ardeal to reflect organically the spiritual needs of Romanian people.” It was based on this situation identified by the critic Vilhelm Beneş in a study he wrote in 1939 that we have endeavoured to reconstitute the state and the level of the inter-war artistic movement in Transilvania and Banat, with a view to the actual achievements of the Romanian artists.
