Interesting — it varies for me, but for most of them I prefer either the early figurative works or the late super abstract works. I'm not a big fan of Kandinsky's intermediate paintings, for instance, and I prefer Mondrian's boldly red windmills and trees to the abstract compositions that came before his well-known grids.
I agree with you…

I agree with you on the U-shaped curve, but I don't think any of the artists here went "too far". Then again, there's a selection bias: these five artists were chosen precisely because their abstract art is famous.
