Studies
Schmidt studied art at the Grand-Ducal Saxon Academy of Fine Art in Weimar, before becoming a student at the Bauhaus School from 1919–1925, training in the wood-carving workshop.
He became the master student of Max Thedy and received his diploma in painting in the winter semester of 1913/1914.[2] When he first came to Bauhaus, Schmidt started a sculpting apprenticeship with Johannes Iiten and Oskar Schlemmer.
As time went by, he became very proficient with applied graphics, having his poster displayed at the Bauhaus exhibition in 1923.[1]
