A central figure in Romanian literature for much of his life, Bogza took special interest in the works of other writers, and contributed to establishing their reputation. During his early period at "Urmuz", he actively encouraged various avant-garde trends, and his eclectic interests, as well as his calls to intellectual rebellion played an important role in shaping the work and activity of both Constructivists and Surrealists. Among the most noted writers whom he aided to express themselves freely were his co-contributors Tristan Tzara, Stephan Roll and Ilarie Voronca, and he was also noted for being the first to publish Urmuz's "Fuchsiada" (a few years after its author committed suicide). Max Blecher also expressed gratitude to Geo and Ecaterina Bogza for helping him complete and publish "Întâmplări din irealitatea imediată".
