Murphy, on the other hand, was a working class man until he began painting without as much formal training after he had already moved to France (Turner et al., 1996). Murphy moved to France after marrying Sara Sherman Wiborg, and together, the two took the Parisian art scene by storm (Rothschild, 2007). During his time in France, Murphy took up still paintings, but without the traditional realism that had been attached to the genre before the twentieth century. Murphy's still lifes were incredibly abstract, yet still reminiscent of the object they resembled in real life. He also painted in cubist and precionist styles, making him a leader in more modern conceptions of abstract artistic expression at the time (Groseclose & Vierich, 2009).

While Dannat's work got a lot of attention in Paris that year, Thompson claims that the "crowning achievement" in that American section of the exhibit was the work of John Singer Sargent.

Abstract Expressionist Painting Artistic and Aesthetic Value in American Modernist Art during the Cold War Era Defining American Expressionism American modernism is perhaps one of the most difficult artistic periods to define. Modernism refers to a trend that affirms the power of human beings to create, shape, and make improvements to their environment.

European countries have absorbed a great deal in the way of material and culture from the United States, they have not become "Americanized," and that each country has incorporated what it takes from the United States into its own nationalism. In addition, the author argues that American culture has been influenced by European countries, although our culture has remained distinctly American. Finally, he makes the point that "Europe" is
Marsden Hartley epitomizes the transition in American art towards abstractionism. In fact, Hartley was integral to fomenting the shift in American art, which had until then tended to lag behind its European avant-garde counterparts.

Jackson also championed Margaret O'Neill Timberlake, who married his secretary of war, John Eaton.
