Kandinsky shared Klee's Bauhaus context and similarly used pen and ink to create abstracted forms drawn from natural observation, translating organic subjects into rhythmic linear language with a modernist sensibility.

Dubuffet created densely worked pen and ink drawings featuring insect and creature imagery rendered through obsessive line work, sharing Klee's interest in abstracting small natural life forms into expressive graphic compositions.

Kubin worked extensively in pen and ink to depict creature and insect forms with a similarly abstracted and fantastical quality, producing modernist drawings that merge biological observation with a deeply expressive linear technique.
