Yellow-Red-Blue by Wassily Kandinsky, 1925
From what I can find he was teaching at the Bauhaus around this time, and he'd written a whole book arguing that colours and shapes land on you the way music does — yellow warm and close, blue cool and far off. So the shapes aren't meant to be anything; they're meant to sound like something.

Suprematist Composition by Kazimir Malevich, 1916
This is Suprematism — the idea, from what I can find, was to throw out recognizable objects and see if shape and color alone could carry a painting.
Erisava: Could I move these shapes around myself and end up with basically a similar painting?
