In his influential treatise Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Kandinsky theorized a new form of artistic expression that would reject the materialist world in favor of emotional and spiritual ideals. Abstract forms and color symbolism would be used to evoke an inner, preconscious realm. Improvisation 27, composed of dark lines and colorful abstract masses, features three iterations of an embracing couple surrounded by serpentine forms. Kandinsky hints at the painting’s possible subject in the subtitle, Garden of Love II, likely a reference to biblical Eden.

If you have little experience of Kandinsky, atleast watch a yt video first that'll explain his relationship bw music, color, forms, shapes and abstraction.

Hmm, I've always liked Kandinsky, but never really explored that...

You really should try! I remember Google arts and culture having a feature that showed it.
