The scene of Romanian visual arts was dominated in the interwar period (1918 – 1940) either by the modernist movements or the avant-garde, especially Dada, all in an attempt to recover, align and setup an original local school. Constantin Brancusi, considered to be the father of modern sculpture, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Iancu and Victor Brauner are just a few of the interwar exemplary artists.

The way in which Marian Zidaru avoids tautology is related to an intuitive thinking system and at the same time to a special sense of measure. The artist invents structures, mostly composites, always starting from pre-existing forms, in principle loaded with theological or traditional meanings.
