George Maciunas

George Maciunas was a Lithuanian-American artist and founder of Fluxus, an international movement in the 1960s focused on experimental, interdisciplinary art.

Maciunas aimed to democratize art, making it accessible and integrated into everyday life. He coordinated events, designed graphic works, and promoted ideas that challenged conventional art practices, fostering a sense of community among artists worldwide. His work significantly influenced contemporary performance and conceptual art, leaving a lasting impact on avant-garde and multimedia art forms.
