Surrendering to the sumptuous curve of pink hues, they gradually began to tessellate forming an orbit, a tender crossing of blue.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this searching critical biography, author and curator, Omar Kholeif, disentangles the seeming madness, velocity, and the interiority of Caland’s life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descrListe\"\u003eJuly 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e978-1-915609-72-4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descrListe\" itemprop=\"inLanguage\"\u003eEnglish edition\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descrListe\"\u003e11 x 16 cm (softcover)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descrListe\" itemprop=\"numberOfPages\"\u003e224 pages (115 ill.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Les Presses du Réel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52125035725120,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3663\/8272\/files\/HuguetteCaland_OK.png?v=1782164097","url":"https:\/\/stormbookstore.com\/products\/huguette-caland-omar-kholeif","provider":"STORM books \u0026 people","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
