The dominating tendency in American painting in the 1940's was Expressionism.  It is still practiced by a few distinguished American artists although today it has generally merged with abstraction.  The expressionists insisted that a painting must represent the artists' particular intellect.  They were making art a private matter, removing it a step from the public, and turning it into an intensely personal vision.
