Abstractionist Kandinsky ran the gamut from fairly conventional, mosaic-like landscapes to amoebic shapes painted on plaster-like surfaces. Most typical Kandinskys were in crescents and triangles, resembled an explosion in a kaleidoscope factory. Abstractionist Miro had littered potato-sack burlap with insectile, wire-worky lines, spots and doodads. Miro's titles were less abstract than his pictures.
