Surrendering to the sumptuous curve of pink hues, they gradually began to tessellate forming an orbit, a tender crossing of blue.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLebanese-born artist, Huguette Caland (1931-2019) was a path-breaking figure in late modernism. The only daughter of the first Lebanese president, Bechara El Khoury, she produced a singular body of art that spanned media and continents. Working for more than five decades, her art is recognized for its embodied aesthetic and its unique sensuality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this searching critical biography, author and curator, Omar Kholeif, disentangles the seeming madness, velocity, and the interiority of Caland's life.\u003cbr\u003e​​​​\u003cbr\u003eBoth an epistolary memoir and a biography, Kholeif interleaves the affective experience of encountering the artist over a period of 18 years, as readers are summoned on a journey through clouds of bristling color. Here, Caland's fields of light are set to lyric prose and poetry, fashioning a scene for looking at and experiencing the erotics of art anew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915609724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Omar Kholeif","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51911633830069,"sku":"9781915609724","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_28fc11f9-efb5-4ebc-8d2e-816dbaca1398.jpg?v=1761056977","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/huguette-caland-9781915609724","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
