Ken Sprague (1927–2004) was an English socialist political cartoonist, journalist and activist, involved in trade union, civil rights and peace movements.
In later life he was also a TV presenter and a psychotherapist. Sprague was concerned with how politics affected the ordinary person.
"In essence, the leitmotif of his work is about power and the abuse of power as well as the resilience of ordinary working people to this abuse...
It is an art of engagement – engagement for change." Martin Rowson said "Ken's art has the power and strength to inspire.
He is the true heir, as a socialist artist, of William Morris."
