Huguette Caland (née El Khoury) (Arabic: أوغيت الخوري), is a Lebanese painter, sculptor[1] and fashion designer[2] based out of Los Angeles. Huguette Caland was born into a political Lebanese family. Her father, Bechara El Khoury, became the first post-independence president of Lebanon in 1943, serving the country for nine years.[3] In 1970, Caland moved to Paris where she lived and worked as an artist for 17 years.[4] Caland became a regular guest at the Feraud studio, meeting many artists, including André Masson, Pierre Schaeffer, and Adalberto Mecarelli.[5] In 1979, Caland collaborated with designer Pierre Cardin, creating a line of caftans that were displayed at Espace Cardin.[6] In 1983, Caland met Romanian sculptor George Apostu. From 1983 to 1986, they worked in Paris and in the Limousin, creating many paintings and sculptures during this time.[7] After the death of Apostu in 1986, Caland decided to move to California.[8] After moving from one studio to another, in 1997 she finally settled in a studio in Venice where she frequently hosted friends and members of the art community, including Ed Moses, Chris Burden, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, and James Hayward.[9] In 2013 Caland returned to Beirut to say goodbye to her dying husband, and has remained there. Her art has been shown in numerous exhibitions and museums around the world.[10]
