"Portrait of Lajos Kassák" is a 1920 woodcut by Hungarian artist Sándor Bortnyik. Known for his bold, geometric style, Bortnyik portrays Kassák, a prominent Hungarian writer, with a stark simplicity, emphasizing the angular lines of his face and coat. The black and white composition is typical of the artist's work and reflects the influence of Expressionism and the burgeoning art movement of Constructivism. The artwork is a powerful example of the artistic trends in Hungary at the time.
