Críticas:
"William Mortensen's grotesque photographs of death, nudity and torture and are now having their day. Chris Campion pays tribute to a master of the macabre who... in recent years has been recognised as a unique and innovative visual stylist." --The Guardian
"Although his imagery was grounded in the 19th century romanticism of Symbolist art, Mortensen had a modernist sensibility for line and composition, and a postmodernist's interest in the symbolic nature of photography. He was the first American visual artist to thoroughly explore grotesque imagery. He pushed the bounds of commonly accepted photographic subject matter, which enraged his foes and ensured his obscurity by the purveyors of photographic history. Happily, however, all of these factors also meant that Mortensen's work would have importance long after his death. Although the forces of photographic change savaged him in the mid 20th century, his unique vision and methods foretold the momentous upheavals facing photography at the turn of the 21st century.&auot; --Vice
'In the thirties, William Mortensen was one of the most celebrated photographers in the nation - his pictures were "unabashedly theatrical, bizarre, and often louche." What sank his reputation: a critical tiff with Ansel Adams.' - --The Paris Reviewtumblr

American Grotesque is a lavish retrospective of grotesque, occult, and erotic images by the forgotten Hollywood photographer William Mortensen (1897–1965), an innovative pictorialist visionary whom Ansel Adams called the "Antichrist" and to whom Anton LaVey dedicated The Satanic Bible.
Mortensen's countless technical innovations and inspired use of special effects prefigures the development of digital manipulation and Photoshop. Includes a gallery of more than one hundred striking photographs in duotone and color, many of them previously unseen, and accompanying essays by Mortensen and others on his life, work, techniques, and influence.
