{"product_id":"books-becoming-modern-by-carolyn-burke","title":"Becoming Modern","description":"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, \u003ci\u003eBecoming Modern,\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672723677457,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781250796134.jpg?v=1781521013","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-becoming-modern-by-carolyn-burke","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
