I think a better version is:
“If this was painted by a random person and not a well known artist no one would like it.”
Which is very often the case with abstract art.
I prefer the conspiracy theory criticism that abstract art was propped up by the CIA and used as a tool to break down and corrupt the mind of the viewer, making the viewer more malleable and open to suggestion.
”I could paint that” is the most lazy criticism against abstract art.
