Lajos Kassák (March 21, 1887-July 22, 1967) was a Hungarian poet, novelist, painter, essayist, editor, theoretician of the avant-garde and occasional translator, was the father of many modernisms.
He was also the first genuine working-class writer in Hungarian literature. Self-taught, it was within the socialist movement that he became a writer and artist.
Although he cannot be fully identified with any of the avantgarde movements, his main influences were expressionism, futurism and later dadaism.
