William Mortensen (1897-1965)

"His compositions were steeped in Gothic and Romantic traditions, his subject matter often whimsical, often bizarre, his style a strange combination of Lorenzo de Bernini, Edgar Allan Poe, Man Ray, Salvador Dali and Maxfield Parrish." Robert Jones

Martha's Girls

"I, Martha, feel it necessary as your kindly hostess
to tell you expressly what awaits you in my friendly parlor.
Let me make it clear from the outset that Martha's Girls
is no virtual bordello. Such a prim and proper lady
as myself couldn't possibly lend her name to any
den of iniquity. No siree!
This project is an earnest tribute to my
tremendous fascination for vintage erotica. Ah, the lovely
ladies of yesteryear... Do I adore their striking style
and wholesome physique!
What a waste it would be to have all that fabulous flair
consigned to the bygone days - no, I say,
let us keep it flourishing on into the future."
