Miriam Schapiro
American · b. 1923

Schapiro pioneered femmage, a maximalist collage practice layering fabric, glitter, and decorative materials onto dense compositions, directly mirroring Tal R's use of unconventional mixed media and textured surfaces teeming with visual energy.
Jess Collins
American · b. 1923
Jess created densely layered paste up collages combining printed imagery, hand drawn elements, and found materials into maximalist compositions that share the same imaginative visual abundance and experimental tactile quality seen in this piece.

Thomas Hirschhorn
Swiss · b. 1957

Hirschhorn builds intensely layered assemblages using aluminum foil, printed paper, tape, and drawing in a maximalist accumulative style that closely parallels the material choices and densely packed visual language of this specific work.
