A lot of people don't appreciate abstract paintings. They assume that all paintings are supposed to look like something, similar to a photograph, and that anything that doesn't is "weird." Sometimes they will see an abstract painting that just looks like a bunch of random colors and think "wow... it looks like a 5 year old painted that!" These people have fallen into the "all art has to be realistic" trap.
