I also believe many of the people who say they don’t appreciate these works have never seen them in person. A picture in a book can’t begin to replicate many of these works.

I have had the privilege of seeing both a Jackson Pollock and a Rothko exhibit in person, and I can attest that it is a stunning difference. Once you get close enough that you can see the individual brushstrokes and the depth of the paint on the canvas, the craftsmanship of the art shines through in ways one could never imagine from viewing it in pictures on a screen or a page.
