Kara Walker
American · b. 1969

Walker similarly uses monochrome printmaking and silhouette based figuration to interrogate Black identity and representation in America, sharing Marshall's conceptual rigor and graphic clarity in addressing race and history.

Glenn Ligon
American · b. 1960

Ligon's conceptual prints and text based works on paper explore Black identity and representation with a similar monochrome aesthetic and printmaking sensibility rooted in American contemporary art of the 1990s.

Lorna Simpson
American · b. 1960

Simpson's conceptual works on paper and photographic prints from the same era share Marshall's focus on Black figuration, identity construction, and representation using restrained monochrome visual language.
