...Joyce Kozloff s Mad Russian Blanket, or the high-keyed color swatches, like details from Matisse's wallpaper back grounds, of Kim MacConnel's Baton Rouge, 1978. There is also a liking for emblems, sometimes of a puzzling sort−as in the paintings of Lois Lane (not a pseudonym), which sport in profile a curious little animal vaguely resembling a horse, silhouetted on a column against a dark background or dangling from what appears to be a parachute.
