As a native New Yorker, the city was always a central source of inspiration for MacIver. Even in her work that doesn’t directly deal with the city as a subject, the vibrant light and movement that can be seen in many of her paintings reflect a lifetime of studying the twinkling, active lights of the city. While she was born and raised in the Bronx, Loren moved directly after high school to live in Greenwich Village where she lived alone for one year before marrying Lloyd Frankenberg in 1929, then a student at Columbia. She would live in Greenwich Village until her death in 1998.<\/span><\/p>\n

The above photograph is of 61 Perry Street, where Loren and Lloyd moved in 1942. They lived on the top floor, and the large skylight was an inspiration for many of MacIver’s paintings.\u00a0 Loren would continue to live there until her death in 1998.<\/em><\/p>\n
