Monsters & Madonnas is a significant work in the history of photography by William Herbert Mortensen. Published in 1936 by Camera Craft Publishing Company in San Francisco, this volume serves as both an artistic exploration and a 'book of methods.' The book is notable for its unique production style, featuring double leaves folded in Chinese style. It is divided into three primary sections: Characters, Nudes, and Grotesques. The work includes 20 full-page black and white plates along with 10 text illustrations, all gravure-printed. Mortensen's contribution as both the photographer and author provides a distilled manifesto on the duality of artistic production, contrasting technical mechanical processes with aesthetic expression.
