=== In the United States === The ideas of German expressionism influenced the work of American artist [[Marsden Hartley]], who met Kandinsky in Germany in 1913.<ref>"Hartley, Marsden", Oxford Art Online</ref> In late 1939, at the beginning of [[World War II]], [[New York City]] received many European artists. After the war, Expressionism influenced many young American artists. [[Norris Embry]] (1921–1981) studied with [[Oskar Kokoschka]] in 1947 and during the next 43 years produced a large body of work in the Expressionist tradition. Embry has been termed "the first American German Expressionist". Other American artists of the late 20th and early 21st century have developed distinct styles that may be considered part of Expressionism. After World War II, figurative expressionism influenced artists and styles around the world. In the U.S., American Expressionism and [[American Figurative Expressionism]], particularly [[Boston Expressionism]], were an integral part of [[American modernism]] around the Second World War.<ref>Bram Dijkstra, [http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/oclc/50866889&referer=brief_results ''American expressionism : art and social change, 1920–1950,''](New York : H.N.
