I think abstract art suffers from getting associated with postmodernist putting-a-toilet-in-an-art-gallery type stuff, as a class marker of insufferable douchebags.

Yes.

What is visual art about?  At its barest - color, shape/form, composition…

Abstract art, when it is good, is about these things, the far end of a continuum of realism vs abstraction.

And I think a lot of the pushback really is about seeing some kinds of art as a scam, defined totally by the artist’s popularity.
