Fischl creates large scale figurative works depicting suited and casually dressed urban Americans in psychologically charged, tension filled poses that mirror Longo's exploration of anxiety and alienation in modern life. His monochromatic drawings and prints share the same high contrast black and white rendering of the male figure under emotional duress.

A close peer of Longo in the Pictures Generation, Salle produces Neo Expressionist figurative works that similarly fragment and dramatize the human body against stark backgrounds, conveying urban psychological tension through bold graphic contrasts. His printmaking practice shares the same high impact black and white aesthetic with contorted or arrested figures.

Sherman, also rooted in the Pictures Generation, similarly uses the staged human figure in dramatic, arrested poses to investigate identity, anxiety, and urban social performance, themes directly parallel to Longo's suited falling male. Her work shares the same stark monochromatic contrast and the sense of a figure caught at a moment of psychological rupture.
