Hm, very true..

Also, does it take much effort at all to create a abstract piece of art?

The art above, with no offense to the artists, seems rather simple and without effort. Perhaps they're crying, sweating, and shouting as they painted or created their art but I honestly can't help but think no matter how much emotion they try to feel while creating, it comes down to nearly entirely random paint strokes. The paint strokes themselves can be interpreted and very meaningful means, I won't argue that, but I seriously doubt there's much more going on in the creation process than random strokes of paint. Especially the second piece.
