Mina Loy was born in London in 1882, became American, and lived
variously in New York, Europe, and finally, Aspen, Colorado until
she died in 1966. Flamboyant and unapologetically avant-garde, she
was a painter, poet, novelist, essayist, manifesto-writer, actress,
and dress and lampshade designer. Her life involved an impossible
abundance of artistic friends, performance and spectacular
adventures in the worlds of Futurism, Christian Science, Feminism,
Fashion, and everything modern and modernist. This new account by
Mary Ann Caws explores Mina Loy's exceptional life, and features
many rare images of Loy and her husband, the swiss writer, poet,
artist, boxer and provocateur Arthur Cravan, who disappeared
without trace in 1918.
