It wasn’t expressionist, but McClaren’s “Begone Dull Care” (1949), set to Oscar Peterson jazz, is a classic of the visual music genre, and deservedly so. Interesting for someone who, as you point out, made mostly figure-based work.

Len Lye was more to my liking, however he still was making figurative based gestures dancing around to music. I was narrowing my question down to (extended) “abstract expressionist” film painting, rather than the more general area of camerless filmmaking overall. Man Ray also pioneered some techniques in this realm but I was referring more to “expressionist” style film painting that would later become something Stan Brakhage explored extensively, however never without asserting that there was a correlative metaphoric quasi “narrative" involved. Later he would call it “moving visual thinking”.
