About
The Monster Roster was an informal collective of Chicago artists active in the 1950s who rejected the prevailing Abstract Expressionism in favor of figurative, often grotesque or existential imagery. The group, which included prominent figures like Leon Golub and Seymour Rosofsky, was united by a shared commitment to humanist realism and a critical engagement with the human condition.
