What am I missing about abstract art?

I am often turned off by it because I don't see it taking any real skill and I usually don't buy into the explaination of it or the hidden meaning behind it or the inspiration for it. I often feel that it's the artist who can come up with the best story to explain it that makes the most money or gets the most attention.
Am I wrong? If so, What makes a great abstract painting?

are you talking about art that looks less real than a photograph or do you mean art that is not a picture of anything?
once people were able to take photographs to record reality, there was no need for artists to focus on the technique of realistic representation. when photographs were only in black and white, artists were experimenting with color and focusing less on realistic line and shape. van gogh and monet for example
since then, some artists moved away from representing or copying things in the world to experimenting with the elements and principles of art. there are lots of things in nature that are like abstract art, think about how beautiful clouds can be, even when they don't look like something else. or a pattern of bare tree branches, a pile of pebbles, ripples on a sand dune.
just like music can be beautiful without lyrics, art can be beautiful without subject matter
