Stella's geometric stripe paintings from the same era share the bold, hard edge abstraction and reductive color field approach seen in Five High, using precise geometric forms to explore color and composition on large canvases.

Louis was a fellow Color Field painter who used acrylic on large canvases to create bold, luminous bands of color in a similarly minimalist and non representational visual language closely related to Noland's stripe compositions.

Kelly's hard edge geometric abstractions employ bold flat color fields and precise forms on canvas, sharing the same minimalist clarity, chromatic boldness, and non gestural approach defining Five High.
