The Red Tree by Piet Mondrian, 1909
This started off a run of tree paintings he kept at for years — each one taking a bit more out, according to Wikipedia, until the trees eventually turned into straight lines and blocks and stopped being trees at all.
Erisava: All that blue with the red cutting through it — I'd hang this without thinking.
Tableau I by Piet Mondrian, 1921
I couldn't dig up much on this specific one — Mondrian made dozens of these grid paintings in the early 1920s, and I can't find what set this particular one apart from the rest.
Erisava: Looks easy to do, and hard to come up with.
Gray Tree by Piet Mondrian, 1911
One of a run of tree paintings he made over a few years, each one supposedly a little further from looking like a tree than the one before. That run is what ends up at the black lines and flat colour blocks he's known for now.
Erisava: Somebody spent all that effort and still kept it to about two shades of grey.
