Rimbaud's work prefigured which artistic movement?

  • Impressionism

  • Surrealism

  • Futurism

  • Romanticism

Answer

Surrealism, an influential 20th-century art movement, finds its roots in the groundbreaking works of French poet Arthur Rimbaud. His unconventional writing style, characterized by free association, dream imagery, and a rejection of traditional poetic forms, anticipated the arrival of Surrealism several decades later. Rimbaud's bold experimentation with language and consciousness paved the way for the avant-garde movement that would revolutionize art, literature, and film in the years to come.
