 | | His paintings show classically disciplined solid forms, but at the same time illustrate, as in the works depicting Don Quixotes story, his rather romantic attitude towards nature. |
 | | Kowarski experimented with group portraits, for example the National Government of 1863 (1937; Warsaw, N. Mus.), culminating in The Proletariat (1948; Warsaw, N. Mus.), a large-scale portrait of the members of a socialist party active in the 1880s. |
 | | His most important easel paintings were created as a response to the tragedy of the war, as in Electra (1947; Warsaw, N. Mus.), in which the Greek heroine meditates in solitude in a setting of antique ruins. |
