Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The poet and visual artist Mina Loy has long had an underground reputation as an exemplary avant-gardist. Born in London of mixed Jewish and English parentage, and a much photographed beauty, she moved in the pivotal circles of international modernism--in Florence as Gertrude Stein's friend and Marinetti's lover; in New York as Marcel Duchamp's co-conspirator and Djuna Barnes's confidante; in Mexico with the greatest love, the notorious boxer-poet Arthur Cravan; in Paris with the Surrealists and Man Ray. Carolyn Burke's riveting, authoritative biography, <i>Becoming Modern, </i>brings this highly original and representative figure wonderfully alive, in the process giving us a new picture of modernism--and one woman's important contribution to it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"For the whole of the twentieth century Mina Loy has been the Missing Person of Modernism; now at last Carolyn Burke has brought her to life, and into the life of her time. Becoming Modern is a perfect example of biographical recovery: it will change our sense of what happened back then, when art was being made new." --<i>Samuel Hynes</i> <p/>"A brilliant recovery of the mysterious life of the great lost Anglo-mongrel modernist. Loy, at last, becomes an equal in the company she kept." --Eliot Weinberger</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Carolyn Burke</b> is the author of <i>Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy</i>; <i>Lee Miller: A Life</i>; and <i>No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf</i>.
