| Summary: | "Writing in the work of Huguette Caland explores the role of writing in the artistic practice of Huguette Caland (1931-2019). Through sketches, visual documentation and an essay by Brigitte Caland, a scholar and the daughter of the artist, this publication traces the Lebanese artist's unique fusion of image and text. It also helps understand the role of writing in Huguette's works, how by concealing parts she creates, consciously or unconsciously, a playful relationship with the viewer and how her handwritten fragments and invented symbols become a language of their own shifting at moments to abstraction. From Beirut to Paris to Los Angeles, the book unveils how visual art and writing combined serve multiple purposes during a fully lived life."--publisher's website. |
