representational art
In the visual arts, images that can be recognized from the real world, even if they are distorted or appear in unusual combinations, as in surrealism. The English artist David Hockney's portraits and swimming-pool paintings are contemporary examples of representational art. The opposite is abstract, or non-figurative, art.
