    Vincent Van Gogh was influenced by several artistic movements during his career as a painter including Impressionism, Pointillism, Japonisme, and Closionism. He was originally drawn to Impressionism's use of color but later disliked it, and was influenced by Pointillism's technique of using small dots of paint. Van Gogh was also heavily inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, incorporating Japanese props into his works. Finally, he was impacted by Closionism's bold, flat forms separated by dark lines.
