As a pioneer of the Fluxus movement of the 1960s, Tomas Schmit (*1943 in Wipperfürth / Germany, †2006 in Berlin) played a significant role in the radical questioning of bourgeois art and the emergence of a new aesthetic. In his artistic practice, which primarily focused on drawing from 1970 onwards, he humorously explored language, logic, paradox, biology, behavioral research, and perception, taking concrete observations of everyday life as a starting point.
