The monumental ensemble of Târgu-Jiu includes the monuments made by our great sculptor Constantin Brâncuşi, the father of the modern sculpture, during 1937 and 1938, namely: The Table of Silence, the Gate of the Kiss, the Alley of the Seats, and the Endless Column, along with a few smaller other works (the chairs placed on the alley of the park where the monument is and the and the benches next to the Gate of the Kiss).

The Ensemble was designed to glorify the "Memory of the heroes of Gorj, who sacrificed their life in the Reunification War" (the test is quoted according to the donation documents), who died in the battles that took place along the Jiu River during the World War One.

The message of this both sculptural and artistic Ensemble, as well as urban and architectural, cannot be fully understood without integrating into it the information related to the Romanian traditions, but also the genius of an artist who also had contact with the specifics of the art of other peoples, especially the Oriental tradition. "Art must be universal and accessible to all," Brâncuşi would say. On one occasion, the artist concluded: "In art, what matters is the joy. You do not need to understand it. Are you happy that you see it? This is enough." Brâncuşi left to his native country the synthesis of his creation as a monumental ensemble, as a tribute to the heroes fallen in the Fight that took place in the area of Jiu River during the First World War.
