Fasnachtshelge "Früeligsglüschtli" is a 1956 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting is a wild mix of bold colors and strange shapes. On the left, a woman with a feathered headdress and red skirt stands holding a green bag. To her right, a blue traffic light and tiny figures in uniforms march like soldiers. A giant blue owl perches on the light, and below, a blue car with two faces inside looks like it’s driving into a yellow sky. The text is all in German and seems to tell a funny, chaotic story—like a joke you’d hear at a carnival. The colors pop bright against the white background, and the shapes don’t quite match real life, making it feel dreamlike. If this wild style intrigues you, look up ethnology to see how culture and art mix.
