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.
