Abstract
Description
The 20th century is considered to be the most contradictory and unsettled period in the history of the entire world culture. The cultural traditions of a nation strongly connect the creations and practices of the past with the present societies; they represent an expression of their spirituality and soul. The Romanian cultural identity, which is constantly changing, keeps a close connection with its previous historical events. The future of a certain society depends largely on how the cultural history is perceived and interpreted by the collective consciousness. In the period between the two World Wars in Romania, there was great concern for the integration of the Romanian national culture with the European one. The first half of the 20th century is rightly regarded as the golden age of Romanian culture, which reached its highest level of international affirmation during time.
