Waves

 See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt for Shapes that are  Wavy or Irregular

Artist - Gisbert Combaz

A lithograph used for an advertising poster in 1899 by  La Libre Esthétique (an artistic society formed in Brussels)  whose yearly exhibitions ran from 1894-1914.  Happily this design contains both wavy lines and irregular shapes.

Whereas these are shape shifting waves

Floating by Vasily Kandinsky (1924) Watercolour and indian ink on paper
Kandinsky experienced synesthesia, where hearing sounds caused him to visually associate and see colours and shapes. He considered music as the ultimate abstract art, dark blue for him was something deep and resonant like a cello or double bass. He often categorised his paintings in musical terms as either  Impressions, Improvisations or Compositions.
