ზურგი საზურგეს—

კისრიდან წელამდე.

რკალი სულისთვის—

შემიხორცე ჯვრებად.

Back to back—

from neck to waist.

An arch for the soul—

heal me through you,

shaped into crosses.

One of the first artworks in Mina Loy: Strangeness is Inevitable at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art [2023, curated by Jennifer R. Gross], is an early self-portrait titled Devant le miroir, in which graphite carves the waterline under a young eye suffused with heavy darkness. Below, a cheek shades down into a curve around sensuous lips that, one feels, used to smile. This is Mina Loy (1882–1966), a creative light both renowned and obscured in Modernism’s histories, whose eponymous exhibition is the first monographic presentation of her work, and significantly restores her to the center of international 20th century Modernism.
