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.\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52832184074521,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1882\/8385\/files\/81cDPO3hySL._SL1500.jpg?v=1784165006","url":"https:\/\/otherbooksla.com\/products\/huguette-caland-by-omar-kholeif","provider":"other books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
