Mina Loy's Artwork

& Chronological List of Mina Loy's Exhibitions

Mina Loy photographed by Stephen Hawck 1907 from Mina Loy's Lunar Odyssey

 

Self-Portrait (c. 1905) from The Last Lunar Beadeker. Ed. Roger L Conover. Highlands, NC: Jargon Society, 1982.

 

Mina Loy & Modern Art is constructed by Ray Schulte and designed by Gillian Fen.

This cluster of web pages focuses on the work of the poet and artist Mina Loy (1882-1966), especially in the ways her poetic endeavors were shaped and defined by her work as a visual artist. Loy's verbal and visual productions were partially defined by the major art movements of the early decades of the twentieth century--including Cubism, Futurism, Dadaism, and Surrealism--even as she helped to define those movements...

The image on the right side is a box construction that Joseph Cornell made. It features a picture of Loy taken by Man Ray. It is from Julien Levy: Portrait of an Art Gallery edited by Ingrid Schaffner and Lisa Jacobs (Cambridge, MA: MIT P, 1998).

 

Loy sketched this pencil-portrait, entitled "Teri," in 1954. Teri was the wife of Hans Fraenkel, and Hans had been married from 1944-1949 to Loy's youngest daughter Fabienne. The original backing for the portrait contains the inscription: "TERI BY MINA LOY / JULY 1954 / ASPEN, COLORADO /To Alicia / With all my love / Aunt Teri." James Jaffe provided the scanned image of the portrait. The drawing is currently owned by Raphael Schulte.
