Die libanesische Künstlerin Huguette Caland (1931–2019) widersetzte sich in ihrer fast fünfzigjährigen Karriere konsequent den gesellschaftlichen und ästhetischen Erwartungen ihrer Zeit. Ihr vielseitiges Lebenswerk aus drei Kontinenten steht im Mittelpunkt der in Kooperation mit dem Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía realisierten Ausstellung.

Mit rund 300 Werken eröffnet die Schau A LIFE IN A FEW LINES in den Deichtorhallen Hamburg vom 24. Oktober 2025 bis 26. April 2026 einen neuen Blick auf Calands Schaffen. Sie thematisiert ihren Widerstand gegen soziale und sexuelle Normen und ihren Umgang mit einem Leben zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen und Orten.

Calands künstlerisches Leben war geprägt von ihren Erfahrungen in Beirut, dem freigeistigen Paris und der Bohème in Venice, Kalifornien. Diese Orte spiegeln die politischen, kulturellen und sozialen Strömungen ihrer Zeit wider und beeinflussten ihre Werke nachhaltig. Ihre Kunst – oft sinnlich und mutig – befasst sich mit Themen wie Gemeinschaft, Urbanität, Liebe, dem Älterwerden und der Suche nach Identität.

Ihre Werke – farbenfrohe Gemälde, zarte Zeichnungen, Skulpturen und Textilien – spiegeln eine rebellische, lebensbejahende Haltung wider, die Konventionen rund um Schönheit, Begehren und weibliche Identität infrage stellte. Calands faszinierende Mischung aus Abstraktion, figurativen Darstellungen und explizit erotischen Motiven war ihrer Zeit voraus. Heute gilt Caland als Ikone weiblicher Emanzipation und als Inspiration für Künstlerinnen weltweit. Ihre Arbeiten sind in Sammlungen bekannter Museen wie dem Centre Pompidou in Paris, dem British Museum oder der Tate in London zu finden.

The Lebanese artist Huguette Caland (1931-2019) consistently defied the social and aesthetic expectations of her time during her almost fifty-year career. Her multifaceted life's work from three continents is the focus of the exhibition realized in cooperation with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. With around 300 works, the show A LIFE IN A FEW LINES at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg from October 24, 2025 to April 26, 2026 opens up a new perspective on Caland's work. It focuses on her resistance to social and sexual norms and her approach to life between different cultures and places.

Caland's artistic life was shaped by her experiences in Beirut, free-spirited Paris and bohemian Venice, California. These places reflected the political, cultural and social currents of her time and had a lasting influence on her work. Her art - often sensual and bold - deals with themes such as community, urbanity, love, ageing and the search for identity.

Her works - colorful paintings, delicate drawings, sculptures and textiles - reflect a rebellious, life-affirming attitude that challenged conventions around beauty, desire and female identity. Caland's fascinating mixture of abstraction, figurative depictions and explicit erotic motifs was ahead of its time. Today, Caland is considered an icon of female emancipation and an inspiration for female artists worldwide. Her works can be found in the collections of well-known museums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the British Museum and the Tate in London.

Best lip balm I have ever used.
By far the best lip balm you will ever buy. When I say I am addicted to Chapstick/lip balm it's an understatement. I don't just have one kind, in one place. I have multiple kinds (you never know what you're feeling or need) in every place! Like my cars chapstick has a chapstick family. I have been trying to pay attention to ingredients lately and realize how many awful chemicals are in most of the products I use. So...here we are, woke up after sleeping with a fan in my face and my lip was dry and cracked straight down the middle. Something so stupid caused so much discomfort I started immediately trying all the different brands, oils, balms, etc. Some burned, some made it worse, some did nothing. Two days of this nonsense and I decided to try this product. It was delivered the next day thank goodness because I was becoming so annoyed with the pain from a small cut. I instantly put the product on and my lip felt so much better. It lasts a very long time so it isn't drying back out and it isn't painful to reapply when needed. It's been less than 24 hours and my lip is almost better. I even slept with the fan on. This balm is amazing, made in the USA, comes in a huge tube unlike the other brands, costs is amazingly low, and it has no nasty smell at all! The only complaint I have would be my concern for my addiction to carry one in my pocket and due to the ingredients it will probably melt some but I will worry about that when I need to. Seriously, this stuff is so amazing I had to write this review. I don't know these people and I sure didn't get it for free. I will be purchasing more from them and sharing what a quality product it is. Just get it.

You will want more than one!
Nice size for lip balm, larger than small chapstick. It is smooth and hydrating. I have one handy in the office, my purse, bathroom, nightstand, etc. No commission here. Just love this product!

Great lip balm
I have had chapped lips for most of my adult life. This product has been the first product that I have used, where my lips are not cracked, peeling or dry. There is no smell or taste, very neutral. I had to use the balm frequently in the beginning, now maybe only several times a day. One tube last a long time I highly recommend this lip balm.
