Abstract (en)

Discusses American film noir style, 1944-1957, especially its use of the world of modern art as a backdrop to create a kind of expressionistic self-portrait. Argues that the film form created a negative image of a modern, elitist art at the same time as it adopted the very avant-garde style it cautioned against.
