Rauschenberg similarly combined multiple printmaking techniques including lithography, screenprint, and etching in single works, creating richly layered abstract compositions that blend sensory and poetic dimensions much like Gilliam's approach here.

Johns is renowned for his technically complex prints that layer lithography, screenprint, etching, and embossing together, producing works with deep tactile surfaces and abstract qualities that closely parallel the multi process methodology seen in this Gilliam piece.

Marden's printmaking practice embraced layered mark making across etching and lithography on fine papers, resulting in abstract works with a poetic sensory atmosphere that resonates strongly with the mood and material richness of Gilliam's composition.
