Ék, Sándor (Alex Keil) (1902 -1975) was a Hungarian graphic artist and poster designer, who worked in Hungary, Germany and Russia as well. His name was originally Leicht and he chose Ék and its German version, Keil (wedge) as a movement name. Joined the Hungarian Communist Party at the age of 16. In 1919 the seventeen-year old boy happily greeted the Hungarian Soviet Republic, which existed 133 days. He drew political caricatures for papers and, after being a member of the Red Army for a short time, he studied arts in the school of Béla Uitz and József Nemes-Lampérth (important Hungarian painters of that age). After the fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic he immigrated to Vienna. In 1921 he participated in the "Young Worker's International" in Moscow (where he met Lenin personally) and studied in VHUTEMASZ from El Liszickij for several months. During these times he was painting in modern and constructivist style, which he gave up soon for the obligatory socialist realism. He has also visited Berlin and Paris and later returned to Budapest, where he has been arrested. After 1925 he lived in Germany and worked for the "Rote Fahne", "Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung" and for other leftist newspapers. Here he made a name for himself as a designer of leftist propaganda posters, similarly to John Heartfield's antifascist designs. Because of Hitler's rise he left for the Soviet Union in 1933, where he won a poster competition organised for the anniversary of Lenin's death. In 1944 he joined the Soviet Red Army. After the fall of Budapest three antifascist posters of Ék covered the walls of the city. ( O,O ) /)__) , ,
