Fasnachtshelge "Twiste" is a 1962 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting Ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting shows two cartoon-style women squatting. The one on the left wears a green skirt and a bright headpiece with beads. The right woman has a purple outfit and messy hair. Both have big hands and feet, and the background is plain. The text around them is in German, making jokes about dance and culture. The women’s poses and the bold colors feel playful and exaggerated.
