Van Gogh was a participant in which art movement? Folk art, surrealism, impressionism, expressionism?

Answer 1

Vincent van Gogh is primarily associated with the Post-Impressionism movement, which evolved from Impressionism. While he was influenced by Impressionist techniques, his work is characterized by bold colors, expressive brushwork, and emotive themes, which paved the way for later movements, including Expressionism. So, among the options you provided, "impressionism" is the closest, but he is not strictly categorized within that movement alone.
