Stanczak

Wczesna praca Juliana Stańczaka zanim wypracował własny styl zwany Optical Art (Op Art). Op Art wniosło coś nowego do malarstwa (podoba się czy nie to inna sprawa), gdy praca jak powyższa prawdopodobnie była wzorowaniem się na innych.

Moniuszko

To czego należy oczekiwać po pracach Moniuszki: tańczący ułani, tańczący krakowiacy, kapela żydowska, karczma. Malowana pocztówka nawiązująca do okresu nadziei. Ładne, bo może trochę nieprawdziwe jak w teatrze, ale było potrzebne.
