I didn't mean actual games 🙂 I know those are beautiful, I meant actual art. Canvas type stuff haha I applaud the sentiment though!

I know what you meant but I just couldn't resist. On the subject though. I don't think I know any chess related art. But I stumble upon something I'll post it here just to make it up.

And have you looked at the game?

This site looks quite interesting: http://www.chess-theory.com/en_virtual_art_museum_chess_art.php

For a combination of literature, art and chess, try "The Flanders Panel" by Arturo Perez-Reverte. I enjoyed it a lot.

Ok...this thread is being hijacked by chess games haha I want some pictures people! Dali, Escher, etc... any chess related art out there?

We had a good chess-related photography contest once. If I can find the link, I'll post it here.
