Rolf Keller (1898–1973), Kostümfest Karikiki, not dated

The high point of the club life of the Kunsthütte or the Chemnitz Kunstgewerbevereins (Arts and Crafts Association) was the annual artists’ (fancy dress) party, advertised by colourful posters. Rolf Keller designed gaily coloured and imaginative posters for the Kunstgewerbeverein which were handmade unique specimens e.g. for the Peasants Ball or the Fancy Dress Party Karikiki. The celebrations were opulent and took place in the Theater-Casino or the rooms of the Eintracht.
