Have you seen this one? (Read his strange bio at Wikipedia, and there are many not-so-flattering comments and reviews on the internet today, but this dude made a lot of money.)
Norman Rockwell was probably the other most famous literalist popular painter. This one is amusing. It's called "The Tattoo."
Other very representational "art" can be seen at Hempfest and on New Age greeting cards, and on Yes album covers, "fantasy" books and so on. Consider the people wearing wolf T-shirts.
Then there is that Nieman fellow who painted in restaurants and bars then later turned to sports and celebrities.
In Nazi Germany, non-representational art was banned as "decadent."
