Not true.
As I said in earlier posts, it took Yven Klein years to reach his "blue period" and his work actually resulted in a unique colour; one that was successfully patented.
It absolutely is art.
As much as Jackson Pollack's "paint dribbles."
As much as Basquiat's "scribblings."
As much as Lichtenstein's "comics"
As much as Reinhardt's "black squares"
In this example, it could be described as "minimalism", a well regarded sub-genre in modern art.
Just because you don't like it, or are unfamiliar with the artist, doesn't mean it isn't art. And it certainly doesn't mean the work took little or no effort.
Just my 2c's worth.
