Lothar Fischer sculpts figures that resemble the inscrutable distortions of a first-grader's picture of teacher. Painter Heimrad Prem piles hills and houses in pell-mell landscapes, colors them pink. Hans-Peter Zimmer paints big green frogs that seem to have something to croak about. Helmut Sturm's Romeo and Juliet embrace in a tangled orgy of lines, their faces hidden by a bright red blush.
