The fundamental problem with abstraction is the regurgitation of its aesthetic properties, the aesthetic codifications peaked many years ago, some may argue that it ended as soon as it began. (think of Rothko's 1 colour work) If everything has been done, abstraction appears bland, and banal, more decoration than idealisation.

Abstract art goes back to the hindus /tantra stuff from 1700s if not before. It was first used as spiritual/metaphysical diagrams.
