Description: Title: Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable Editor: Gross, Jennifer R. Publisher: Princeton University Press Binding: Hardcover Pages: 232 Dimensions: 10.70h x 8.70w x 0.90d Product Weight: 2.55 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780691239842 A richly illustrated exploration of Mina Loy's art and writings Mina Loy (1882-1966) was one of the most iconoclastic figures in modernism. A groundbreaking poet, she also left an indelible mark in painting, drawing, prose, art criticism, and fashion. Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable is the first book to examine the full scope of her extraordinary career, demonstrating Loy's transformative impact on the visual arts as well as the literary avant-garde of the twentieth century. Presenting dozens of Loy's paintings, drawings, and constructions alongside selections of her poems and writings, this book gives a comprehensive overview of the complex images and objects Loy created and situates them in the larger context of her life and work. It explores Loy's pursuit of truth and beauty, arguing that her engagement with the emphatically "unbeautiful" materials of the Bowery--such as rags and bottle caps--reflects her questioning of truth. The book positions Loy within the broader context of surrealist art; sheds light on her relationships with influential figures such as Gertrude Stein, Marcel Duchamp, and Wyndham Lewis; and addresses Loy's enduring relevance today. Featuring rare and previously unpublished artworks, Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable reveals this visionary artist's extraordinary contributions as an image-maker, writer, and cultural arbiter, introducing her work to a new generation of readers and charting new directions in art history, women's studies, poetry, and modernist studies.
