but you admit that you mistaken one of my pictures for true masterpiece of abstract art. Therefore your five year old can do better than Rothko and Mondrian as well. This is quite possible.

Is this your criteria for true art: does not look like a screensaver?

Take a quiz to find out:
http://www.ee.ucla.edu/~simkin/true_art_or_fake_art.html
You will see a dozen of images.
Some of them are True Masterpieces of Abstract Art, created by Immortal Artists. They carry profound meanings, which are, however, beyond the apprehensions of the vulgar. The rest were produced by the author of the quiz using common software (like Microsoft Word). They mean nothing.
You are asked to decide on each of the images. Afterwards the quiz is graded automatically.
