Figurative art - an ancient and living phenomenon

In contrast to abstract art, figurative art imitates the world as it is. Portraits, animals, and nature are motifs that are often found in the style. The art form is perhaps the oldest that has been preserved. From prehistoric cave paintings to today's sometimes photorealistic figurative painting, figurative art has always been close at hand for humans.
