Appropriate Abstract Art for Hospitals- Your Vote

Kandinskyblog
Composition IV by Wassily Kandinsky,1911, Oil on canvas, 62 7/8 x 98 5/8 in; Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfallen, Dusseldorf

The use of Abstract Art in Hospitals is controversial.

However, in a poll on this blog a couple weeks ago there was clear support for abstract art.
When answering the question:
"Is abstract art ever appropriate for patient care areas in a HealthCare setting?"
75.9% said Yes

The follow up question is:
Which Abstract Art is appropriate?
Please help by emailing me pictures
of the art that you think works.

With the pictures please include the title of the piece and the artist. Other information (date, media, owner, size, etc.) would be welcome but is not required.

Please send me JPG images attached to email.
You can send them to me at henry@henrydomke.com
