There is good abstract art and bad abstract art, just like anything else. Admitedly, there isn't really any standard to judge it against, so everyone has to make thie own judgements based on their tastes.
Just because it is representative doesn't mean that it doesn't have meaning to the artist. And there is also the formal aspect as well.
If you don't like abstract art, thats fine, everyone is entitled to their own taste. But when I hear people say "That isn't really art" I think it makes them sound ignorant and closed minded in my opinion.

The art above, with no offense to the artists, seems rather simple and without effort.

Since when does art have to be complex and difficult? There can be beauty in simplicity as well.
