For this small Design Layout project, we had to find a table of contents that we liked in an existing magazine and trace its grid. Then, we applied that grid to a table of contents of our own design, based on an imaginary article on an artist of our choice.
MINE
THEIRS

I’m not real impressed with this… I couldn’t find a painting of Chagall’s that had a lot of negative space. The negative space is what really makes the original one spectacular. I did have fun with transparency and trying to put important info in the “line of sight.”

I would guess that the lack of “negative space” WOULD be a problem with certain artists. I think that transparency as you used may be the only option with such a situation.
