It is not the painters that are missing, but the patrons. State funded schools and competitions are also not really helping with their edgy post modern boomer art. Almost all figurative oil painters have to teach and sell smaller portraits, landscapes and comissions to make ends meet. Investing a full year into one big painting is just not an opportunity people have unless you get grants (which are all going into modernist stuff) or have rich patrons.
