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

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.
