The works of Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Jackson Pollock represent, respectively, impressionism, post-impressionism, and abstract expressionism. Even though it would be difficult to forge paintings by these well-known artists, forgeries still appear. 

A group of artists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries took from the impressionists the use of short strokes and the brighter colors. To this they added their own ingredient—a strong personal quality that resulted in an emotion-filled interpretation of the subject matter. One such post-impressionist was Vincent van Gogh. His work was filled not only with emotion but also with texture and intense color.
