      I can't say that I *hate* abstract art, it's just that most of it does not appeal to me as an artistic application and genre. There are very few pieces that arouse any senses in me than feeling bored at the confusing mess.

      A lot of abstract art is centered around the artists feelings. Getting these feelings out, without so much as an ideal of symmetry is purely theuraputic. Like laying a huge canvass on the floor and pouring paint on it then rolling in it. Remember what it felt like to dip your entire hand in paint and smudge it on a piece of paper?

      However, I do prefer realism, as you pointed out. But very few artists can achieve a photographic quality to their art. I will never be at that level, and I know it.

    I love abstract paintings, but hating them is very normal.

    Perhaps you need to work on letting your unconscious out of it's closet a little more.

    I don't typically like a lot of "modern art" either... I think it's normal.

    Everyone has their own opinion. To be honest I agree with you and think that a five year old could create some of the 'abstract drawings' that are well known as masterpeices...
