Mina Loy, better known as a poet than an artist, was born in London and led a peripatetic life, settling variously in Paris, Florence, and New York. While in New York, her work centered on the little-known magazine Rogue, along with making paintings, lampshades, and other objects. Beginning in the 1940s, Loy constructed assemblages using rubbish picked up on the Bowery where she lived. This lecture explores the ways her works of art, poetry, and other writings interrelate.
