The eight directions: Each spoke is a kind of kinship — period, movement, vibe, topics, keywords, tone and main colour, plus “other” for the freer, more surprising matches.
Distance from the centre: The closer a work sits to the heart of the wheel, the stronger its bond with this painting. Works near the rim are looser, more unexpected echoes — often the most rewarding to discover.
