Schmidt's greatest electoral difficulty however will be to convince the FDP or Free Liberals to remain in the government coalition. As in past elections, neither the Social Democrats nor the Christian Democrats led by Helmut Kohl will be able to win a clear electoral majority.

Several artists--numerically the smallest group--are primarily concerned with exploring purely formal qualities of design, texture, color and light. Both Linda Conner and Paul Kohl blur and soften the contours of the scenes they photograph and emphasize contrasts of light and dark--Conner in order to turn commonplace scenes into quiet worlds of peace and timelessness, Kohl in order to create beautifully balanced compositions of glowing geometric shapes...
