There seems to be two sentiments that are ubiquitous with abstract art, and they usually seem to stem from the same type of person. One is the notion that making abstract art is easy. The truth is that the people who think this are correct, but these people are also assholes. The other is their familiar adage that goes something like, "That's art? Even I could do that!" That is also true, which makes them not only assholes, but self deprecating assholes. Armchair quarterbacks who would rather whine than pick up a brush and make a million dollars.
