...Craig Kane's oils...[average] about 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. They are cityscapes that were painted in and around Brooklyn, and they hang in phalanxes. One of the most attractive features houses and a bare tree, seen through the louvers of a blind; another is nothing but a pink-and-blue evening sky with a row of street lamps at the bottom that are starting to twinkle.

Sometimes Mr. Kane works even smaller, as in the three images of a blue planet earth, setting over a mud-colored horizon under a black sky, and places the results in cigar boxes. He is a gifted miniaturist who risks- but so far has escaped- preciousness, probably because of his uncute subject matter.
