What is figurative painting? Best figurative paintings

Many of us, who faced with modern art heard of Figurative art style. Figurative means art, which is a painting with elements of the human figure or animals.

Abstract and figurative art are opposite in relation to each other. Abstract painting rejects the image of reality, but for figurative sense of art, on the contrary, the real world, this is the starting point for creativity.
