She enrolled in the art program at the American University of Beirut and, at age 33, began to pursue a career as an artist. Several years later, in 1970, she left her children behind and went to Paris to continue her art practice. Caland relocated again in 1987, to Venice, California, where she became a member of a vibrant art community. With the help of the late artist Ed Moses, she was able to buy property from painter Sam Francis, who allowed the purchase from his deathbed. Moses later became a good friend of hersEd Moses has been a significant figure in contemporary art in Los Angeles since his first solo exhibition at Ferus Gallery in 1958. Since the very beginning, drawing has been central to Moses's practice. From his large, all-over graphite drawings of roses from the 1960s to his signature diagonal grids of the 1970s and beyond, Moses's work has always been grounded in graphic experimentation.The first museum presentation of the artist's drawings since 1976, Ed Moses: Drawings from the 1960s and 70s is comprised of approximately 100 works from LACMA's collection, the artist's own holdings, and those of other museums and private collections.
