Lombard Freid presents Early Works: 1970-85, Huguette Caland’s premiere exhibition at the gallery. Caland’s career began in late 1960s Beirut, Lebanon with erotic abstract paintings and body landscapes, which she continued into the 1970s in Paris and later, Venice, California, with a series titled Bribes de Corps (“body fragments”). The daughter of Lebanon’s first president, Bechara El Khoury, and educated at the American University of Beirut, Caland’s artistic activity was a product of a cultural metamorphosis in Beirut, which had become “an uncommonly cosmopolitan gathering ground for exiled revolutionaries, artists, and intellectuals from across the Arab world,” writes art critic Negar Azimi. Focusing on her abstract paintings and including a series of hand-drawn caftans, this exhibition features works which are being shown for the first time in the U.S.
