The horses are riding at the Eiffel Tower ...

The horses are riding at the Eiffel Tower ...
Who started the herd in the capital of the world?
And the racetrack on the Field of Mars
As if the planet was reversed.

Three days dedicated to the world of horses!
In Paris, there was a display of horse beauty, grace and removal.
It was a fantastic sight!
Horsemen, of course, also well done, but the horses are simply incredible.
At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, in the heart of France, the Paris stage of the jubilee tenth season of the series of Longines Global Champions Tour was held.
The background of this action was a wide advertising company.
As models, beautiful stallions of the European chief stuntman - equestrian stuntman and coach of the Frenchman Mario Lurashi, posed for the creation of the Paris Eiffel Jumping-2015 posters on the Eiffel Tower!
For the first time the Eiffel Tower was skittled by stunned tourists, and long-legged handsome men with eyelashes and chic tails and, thanks to the photographer Paola Peavy, there were wonderful posters glorifying the beauty of these graceful animals.
The Global Champions Tour is the chain of international annual competitions, which includes 14 tournaments a year, taking place in unique, exclusive venues and in capitals of different countries.
Paris Eiffel Jumping - the eighth round of the competition, which takes place on the Field of Mars directly at the feet of the Iron Lady against the background of the Higher Military School of Paris.

The title partner of the tournament is the Swiss watch company Longines, which on Saturday, July 4, presented one of the most interesting competitions - the Paris Grand Prix of the Longines Global Champions Tour.
Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping is a competition of the highest category 5 * by the graduation of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI), during which it is possible to observe the struggle of the best riders and best horses of the world.
The competition was attended by 300 riders!
Once upon a time on the Champ de Mars already had a racetrack. And the organizers of the tournament just decided to bring us back into history and, in my opinion, they did it very well.
By the way, let me and I take you to the history of the Champ de Mars, especially since she has a long beard.

It began already in the middle of the XVIII century.
It was in 1791 that Louis XV decided to build a military school, which young men from low-income aristocratic families could visit.

Thanks to this construction, the Field of Mars was used for a long time as a parade ground for military parades, that's why they named it in honor of the ancient Roman god of war - Mars.
It was on the expanses of the Champ de Mars that Napoleon Bonaparte, who was trained at the Military School, began his military career.
Later, it was on the Champs de Mars that the first controlled balloon, created by Francois Blanchard, was launched.

But since 1833 the future public park for some time served as a racecourse on which competitions of regional and European level were held.
Horse races on the famous Champ de Mars stopped in 1867, when it became the venue for the World Exhibitions.
By the way, it was for one of the exhibitions, as a temporary building, and the Eiffel Tower was built, which was greeted by Parisians more than cool, but nevertheless, will forever remain a visiting card of Paris.
Do not worry, I will not go into the history of the Iron Lady. )))

Everything, enough distractions, I promise not to rub much more, so as not to distract from viewing.
I reserve the right only occasionally to insert my five cents.
And we will be admiring horses!
What did you think? Did you think that I will show you the opening day of the bonnets, a series of Madame pomaded and minted Monsieur?
No! We will receive aesthetic pleasure from the perfection of nature.
By the way, there were very few hats and everything was simple. No three-story pomposities, and the outfits are very simple. Whether the queen mother was not enough to set the tone, whether the weather contributed to simplicity and openness.))

And the young ladies stood by the waysides,
They liked horses very, very ...

And the young ladies are all complicated: Virginie Cooperen, Marion Cotillard, Charlotte Marie Pomelin Casiraghi.

And yes, I'm sorry if the quality of the photos is not always good. There were several reasons for this.
But is this the main thing? The main thing is to catch courage and feel the relish, and maybe to look into the eyes of those who, according to the poet, have gathered all the wisdom of the world in their eyes.
Have jumped? )))

Crawfurd Adamson on the language of the human body

The global difference of this Scottish artist in his way of studying fine art. In fact, he used the Socratic method of dialogue: most of his life before the easel was held in seminars, meetings, master classes and training courses. For Crawford Adamson (Crawfurd Adamson) it was initially more important to find like-minded people than to create a masterpiece. Certainly, the basis for self-improvement was monumental education. He brilliantly graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, and earned an international scholarship, thanks to which he completed his studies in France.

The main and favorite plot of Crawford Adamson's paintings is the human body and all possible forms that it is capable of taking. The artist admits that the human figure has always fascinated him. A barely visible change in the posture, a meaningful gesture, in his opinion, can change the impression of the surrounding world. Crawford watched the behavior of people in public places and transferred these impressions to his paintings. He always used strong, often unexpected colors, providing with their help a non-standard perception.

Today Crawfurd Adamson is one of the leading figures in contemporary art, and to achieve this result it took, as always, talent and time - more than forty years. His personal exhibitions began in the eighties of the last century, and to this day traveled all over the globe. Some of them became part of the Metropolitan Museum's expositions and Fleming's collection in London.

Alexander Babich about mountains, better than only mountains

Looking at his paintings one can love mountains, even if you have never seen them in your life. And if you do not fall in love, then at least understand the wonderful line from the song of Vladimir Vysotsky - of course, that mountains can be better than mountains - those that have not been before. And the power of this feeling is precisely in the mode of image transmission. And in his work there are no extremes, so inherent in modern art: photographic realism or fantasy - the generation of violent imagination. Everything, as in the old - good times: canvas, oil and work in the open-air.

And the open-air - it's very softly said. For example, three years ago, in 2010, artist Alexander Babich deliberately went to the Mahar Gorge, this is in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. He lived there and drew until his impressive nature dried up - and in those places of mountain scenery more than enough. So it turned out six months of artistic travel.

Landscapes of the Caucasus mountains, created in other trips, in the works of Alexander Babich very much, and they reflect all seasons. All admirers of mountains and modern art necessarily find in his collection a picture of the soul. That is why his works are in private collections in many countries of the world. For example, they are in Canada, USA, Japan, France, England and Australia. By and large - almost everywhere, because he sold them in no small number - more than two thousand. Excellent proof that the mountains really love on earth.
