There are four versions of the mazur that could be presented by a folk dance group: the dance of the nobility (in 17th-century costumes), the salon dance of the Napoleonic era (in the appropriate military [men] and salon [women] mixture of clothing), the dance of urban folk or a peasants' dance from central Poland.

 Zygmunt Mazur
Mazur and his Polish, Arab and European contemporaries would have been exposed to international art movements such as Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism and Surrealism, among others.
Through the 1950s and 60s, Mazur is true to the tenets of German Expressionism, marked by elements of intense psychological introspection, bold abstracted colors, flat and distorted figures.
As a result, even though Mazur continues to explore themes that informed his early works, the later works depict distorted human forms that are infused with sexuality and display an overtly inner turmoil, a frustrated, almost alienated tension, and an erotic mythology based on "primitivizing" themes (guggenheim.org).

 No. 1-04-2794, Liebert Corp. v. Mazur
Mazur said he attempted to save the zip file on a CD and that he intended to give the CD to another Zonatherm employee to give to Steve Izzo, his former boss at Zonatherm.
Plaintiffs maintain that Mazur has demonstrated a willingness to use or disclose trade secrets and that his testimony that he no longer possesses the price books is incredible, arguing that Mazur would inevitably disclose this information in his new position at Aerico.
Like the plaintiffs, the majority apparently does not believe in Mazur's version of events, and finds that it was against the manifest weight of the evidence for the trial court to conclude that Mazur did not successfully copy trade secret pricing information onto a CD before deleting the information from his laptop.
