Heron shared Hodgkin's commitment to bold expressive color fields within an abstract British tradition, often working across print and painting with similarly vibrant layered hues that prioritize emotional resonance over representation.

Frankenthaler worked extensively with hand applied color in printmaking and mixed media, combining lithographic processes with gestural watercolor and gouache applications to achieve the same kind of luminous layered abstraction seen in this piece.

Dine is renowned for his richly hand worked prints that combine lithography with vigorous manual additions of watercolor and gouache, producing textured surfaces where the mechanical and the gestural coexist in the same expressive way Hodgkin achieves here.
