Sophie Taeuber-Arp meets Mina Loy

What is a vision? A fire? A sparkle? A philosophy? A pioneer?

Or nothing at all?

And what does it mean to be a woman and have a vision?

Sophie Taeuber-Arp is a Swiss painter, sculptor, dancer, architect, designer, pedagogue, pioneer of concrete art, Dadaist

and with her husband Hans Arp co-signatory of the Dadaist Manifesto 1916 in Zurich. Sophie is depicted on the current fifty-franc note

- as the only woman among seven men.
