I doubt the "Aventador" will ever get as good as this.... But then again, what can we do! Farewell, Murcielago, 2011 will be your official death. But you'll live on in our spirit!!!

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica and often simply Sacré-Cœur (French: Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, pronounced [sakʁe kœʁ]), is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark, the basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. Sacré-Cœur is a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the defeat of France in the 1871 Franco-Prussian War and the socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighborhood, and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular vision of a loving and sympathetic Christ.

The Sacré-Cœur Basilica was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and was finished in 1914. It was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919.

An amazing turquoise Koenigsegg CCXR. "Special One", belongs to the Al-Thani family. They also have many other cars in that color, such as Ferrari 599, Lamborghini LP670-4 SV or Pagani Zonda "Uno" (unique model).

The Age of Bronze / L'Âge d'airain by Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), modeled in 1876. This version is on permanent public outdoor display on the Place Rodin in the 16th arrondissement in Paris.

 

When the statue of a naked male was first exhibited at the 1877 Salon in Paris, France, Rodin was falsely accused of having made the statue by casting a living model, a charge that was vigorously denied.

 

A Belgian soldier, Auguste Neyt, posed for the nude statue. Rodin kept photographs, which survived and showed the remarkable likeness to the model (in the Rodin Museum).

 

An important breakthrough for L’Âge d’airain (and Rodin) came in 1880 when the French state ordered a bronze copy. This first bronze version was ordered from the Thiebault Brothers and had a leaf covering the male genitals. It was originally displayed in the Jardin du Luxembourg and is currently in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris (with modesty cover permanently in place).

 

Well over a hundred bronze copies of the 183 cm life-sized sculpture were cast in Rodin’s lifetime with many in museums but several in private hands. One sold for over €4 million in 2011.

 

In some other languages L’Âge d’airain is translated as The Age of Bronze (English), Das Eherne Zeitalter (German), Das Zeitalter der Bronze (German), De Bronstijd (Dutch), La edad de bronce (Spanish), L’età del bronze (Italian), and 青銅時代 (Japanese).

 

This version is inParis: Place Rodin (in the 16e arrondissement)

A day of delirium, she sent me a “post” on my Facebook page saying that he would be great if Jean-Marc Marron Rouge start to make recycled shoes. I found the challenge “bold”. I told her that it was not into my skills and that the competent person to design shoes is Stéphane Baudet-Bourmaud, a Facebook ‘s friend and former designer at Clergerie.

To make shoes was not a project for me at first, and then I calledStéphaneand told him why not? Does the project to make shoes completely recycled was a project he wanted to do. We first met inParis. I explained how to him hoes and materials and limiting ourselves initially to shoes “simple” style sandals, mules. I immediately saw an extension of the accessories collection Paix Joyeuse (joyful peace). Materials were approached on my side, the tire tread, the tube outside / top and canvas parachute bag (cotton) and is in direct contact with the skin.

Stéphane then “floored” and came to Lyon at Village des Créateurs (Designer’s Village) in order to work more precisely before I leftIndiain January 2013.Stéphanethen left me the “models” he had prepared, and when I arrived inIndiato do the other prototypes of my new collection, I showed them the shoes … They were surprised but “excited” and they said IT WORKS! Recycled shoes for Marron Rouge were born.

Provenance

 

Notes: Charles Nègre (9 May 1820 – 16 January 1880) was a pioneering photographer, born in Grasse, France. In 1837, Nègre took drawing classes in Aix-enProvence, and from 1839, he began to study painting inParis under the direction of Paul Delaroche, Drolling (thisexample is one of his drawings from the Drolling studio), andfinally Ingres, before establishing his own studio at 21 Quai Bourbon on the Île Saint-Louis, Paris. Delaroche encouraged the use of photography as research for painting; Nègre started with the daguerreotype process before moving on to calotypes. His "Chimney-Sweeps Walking", an albumen print taken on the Quai Bourbon in 1851, may have been a staged study for a painting, but is nevertheless considered important to photographic history for its being an early instance of an interest in capturing movement and freezing it forever in one moment. Having been passed over for the Missions Héliographiques which commissioned many of his peers, Nègre independently embarked on his own remarkably extensive study of the Midi region. The interesting shapes in his 1852 photograph of buildings in Grasse have caused it to be seen as a precursor to art photography. In 1859, he was commissioned by Empress Eugénie to photograph the newly established Imperial Asylum in the Bois de Vincennes, a hospital for disabled workingmen.

 

He used both albumen and salt print, and was known also as a skilled printer of photographs, using a gravure method of his own development. A plan commissioned by Napoleon III to print photographs of sculpture never came to fruition, and in 1861 Nègre retired to Nice, where he made views and portraits for holiday makers. He died in Grasse in 1880.[

Fritz Bach (German, 1890-1972)

 

Diego Rivera supported Trotsky, alienating himself from the Communist mainstream in Mexico; he requested the Mexican President Cardenas to grant Trotsky’s asylum. The Russian and his wife Natalia lived with Rivera and wife Frida Kahlo, rent-free and under 24-hour guard, for the next two years.

 

Breton, a member of the French Communist Party from 1927 to 1935, who had previously worked with Trotsky to create the International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art, was visiting from Paris. This is the famous trip where Kahlo was ‘discovered’ by Breton. At Breton’s invitation, Kahlo went to France the next year and was featured at an exhibition of her paintings inParis. (The Louvre bought one of her paintings, The Frame, the first work by a 20th century Mexican artist ever purchased by the internationally renowned museum.) However, Breton didn’t care much about Kahlo–he didn’t even bother to pick Frida who didn’t speak French at the French customs, but his wife Jacqueline Lamba did. Lamba and Kahlo were close friends and are rumored to have had an affair.

 

Active communist sympathizers, Kahlo and Rivera befriended Leon Trotsky as he sought political sanctuary from Joseph Stalin. Initially, Trotsky lived with Rivera and then at Kahlo’s home, where he had a brief affair with Kahlo. “Little Goatee” she called him, and dedicated her self-Portrait (“Between the Curtains”) as a birthday gift to Trotsky. However, Kahlo soon tired of him (by then, she was calling him, “The Old Man”) and Trotsky’s suspicious wife, Natalia. Trotsky and Natalia then moved to another house in Coyoacán. After Trotsky’s assassination in 1940 by a Stalinist agent, Kahlo was questioned by police for suspected involvement in the murder. She knew the assassin, Ramon Mercader in Paris and invited him into Trotsky’s refuge in Coyoacán.
