Horsing around since 1974, Alexander Calder's curious piece, Cheval Rouge, just might be a horse imposter, but don't let that fool ya. This ruddy steed, fashioned from scarlet sheet steel, vanished the line between horses and abstract art, riveting viewers in the cafe au lait city's Art Sculpture Garden. Reaching a towering 5 meters, this equine enigma grounds itself firmly amidst other captivating creations that D.C.'s National Gallery artefacts garden offers. Artland, if you will, where weary travelers unwind and rekindle their love for art. Even though Rouge is tail-less, it makes up for it with its artistic flare.
