(USA Records Organization-USKings introduce the new USA TOP) Accoding to COMPLEX MAGAZINE  There are some conditions though. For example, American painting has always been influenced by art made in other parts of the world. Good American painting borrows from art history and either imparts a lesson or tries to effect social change. Great American painting does all of this and makes you feel something too.
