Yes, but a lot of Abstract Expressionists (and artists since then) have created things to deliberately look like they were "painted by a toddler" to react to this rather common complaint/comment. Definitely, no toddler is going to create something like a Rothko or a Newman (both require some technical preparation no toddler is going to come up with) but it's not always so easy to distinguish. Not that it matters one bit. Place them in the right place or context or even consider them in the right way and the pieces created by toddlers can be art, too.
