Lawrence similarly combined bold geometric abstraction with figurative narrative to explore African American experience, using flat planes of color and fragmented forms that echo Bearden's collage aesthetic and thematic concerns.

Ringgold's mixed media works blend collage, acrylic painting, and layered imagery to celebrate African American culture and identity, sharing Bearden's fusion of abstraction and figuration within a distinctly Black visual tradition.

Andrews worked extensively with collage combined with paint on board surfaces, integrating fabric and cut materials into figurative compositions that carry a similarly expressive and culturally rooted spirit as Bearden's work from this period.
