Fasnachtshelge "Strohhut" is a 1957 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting Ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting shows a face wearing a tall, striped straw hat. The hat is yellow with dark green stripes, and the face underneath has a simple, rough style. The colors are bright but uneven, with some smudges and uneven lines. The artist used bold, flat colors and didn’t worry about smooth details. The hat looks like something you’d wear for a festival or celebration. If you’re curious about where this kind of art fits in, look up ethnology.
Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid spent years drawing the same carnival clowns in Basel’s back alleys.
