Remarkable Answers to Prayer
GEORGE MULLER, OF BRISTOL, ENGLAND

Daily Christian Quote 18th September 2022
Have you ever considered that the very reason your earnings remain so small may be because you spend everything on yourself?
George Muller
0 notes
Adversity is a classroom in which we can learn more of Christ and become more like Him. Troubles point out our weaknesses and prompt us to rely on God in ways that we wouldn’t otherwise. We are forced to face problems and pressures that are too big for us to resolve. In this way, God gets our attention. Paul wrote, “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong” (II Corinthians 12:7–10). One of the ultimate purposes of trials is to cause us to desire more of Christ in our lives. Trials reveal that on our own we can’t live in a way that honours God. We need to rely on God and need His grace every step of the way.

The great fault of the children of God is, they do not continue in prayer; they do not go on praying; they do not persevere. If they desire anything for God’s glory, they should pray until they get it.

My Heavenly Friend - George Mueller by hymn Revival
Via Flickr:
MY HEAVENLY FRIEND George Mueller (1805-1898) “Oh, this is a reality, not a fable, that the Lord Jesus Christ is our friend. We should not be satisfied till we are brought to this, that we know the Lord Jesus Christ experientially to be our friend and habitually to be our friend. Just ponder this. Habitually, never leaving, never forsaking us, at all times and under all circumstances ready to prove Himself to be our friend.” Hymn Revival

Sartle School of Art History: Cubism
Cubism was one of the first -isms to hit our collective senses in the twentieth-century art world. It all began when our playboy Pablo Picasso and dear Georges Braque began using cubes and simplistic forms in their paintings. Revolutionary! These brothers-in-crime believed that by breaking down objects into distinct planes they could demonstrate to the viewer that different viewpoints could be seen at the same time. In less art history speak: geometric shapes rule, man.
Picasso and Braque’s friendship was intense, and yet ultimately short-lived. Like any passionate relationship, there were great highs and the lowest of lows. Although their bond was reportedly close, they weren’t above hurling snide remarks each others’ way. Their relationship ended abruptly with the outbreak of World War I, and Braque is quoted to say, “Picasso and I said things to one another that will never be said again . . . that no one will be able to understand.”
Braque was the only artist throughout Picasso’s lifetime with whom he shared a deep, intimate connection. The story begins when Braque visited Picasso’s studio to view Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), the painting that propelled cubism into the limelight (though it remained behind closed doors from 1907-1914). Picasso would not let anyone, not even his nearest and dearest see the painting. Only in 1914 did Picasso allow a circle of close friends, including Braque, to view the piece. Given the close relationship between the two artists, one would assume Braque was enthralled with Picasso’s latest masterpiece. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Braque was not only dismayed by the painting, but it made him want to “drink petrol and eat old rope.” Ouch. Not exactly a compliment that proves your buddy has your back. Even so, his statement must have made quite the first impression because from there their friendship caught fire and the two were nearly inseparable. These cubists in crime weren’t your typical bromance. They not only supported one another but constantly challenged and motivated each other to push their styles further.

In addition, these two certainly gave off soulmate vibes as their lives perfectly mirrored one another. Picasso was only born seven short months before Braque. Braque’s father was a house painter and decorator, while Picasso’s father was an academic painter. Both fathers strove to instill their profession into their sons. While Picasso was a womanizer, attention-grabbing, loud Spaniard, Braque shied away from the limelight and remained married to the same woman for the rest of his life. While Picasso was brash, Braque was diplomatic and soft-spoken, yet these two opposing forces complemented their partnership and helped shape art history in the twentieth century and beyond.
Picasso and Braque found inspiration in the work of Paul Cezanne and African art, particularly tribal masks, as the basis for cubism (appropriation, anyone?!). While Picasso shifted from narrative to pictorial imagery, Braque focused on his use of materials to manipulate light and space. For them, cubism touted the belief that nature was not to be mimicked but instead simplified, placing the focus on techniques of perspective, modeling, and foreshortening. In short, these cubists were all about flattening a painting to its basic form.
With the birth of cubism, two different sub-styles emerged. The first, analytical cubism, was popular with the dudes from 1908-12. Analytical cubism simplifies a painting into a severe series of planes and lines with a limited color palette. George Braque’s Still Life (Violin and Candles) (1910) is a good example of the artist experimenting with structural space within a two-dimensional frame. Picasso’s Violin (1912) is another example of this rigid cubist style.

The other more well-known type of cubism is synthetic cubism. Most cubist paintings we recognize today come from this second type that Picasso and Braque began to implement from 1912-14. In this type of cubism, the canvas is simplified, shapes are less extreme, and bright colors are used. Synthetic cubism saw the experimentation of collage and mixed-media materials such as newspaper or patterned paper were inputted into the canvas. Unlike analytical cubism, which flattened images and removed any trace of three-dimensional space, synthetic cubism added texture to the canvas, adding depth to an already square (ha! Get it?!) surface.
It was during this time that both Braque and Picasso began to experiment with papiers collés, which is French for pasted paper, using wood-grained paper that was then placed on white paper.
Georges Braque, Guitar and Program: Statue d'Epouvante, 1913
Braque and Picasso weren’t the only Cubies hanging about. Other artists such as Robert Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, and even Diego Rivera were influenced by cubism. Rivera’s The Cafe Terrace (1915) was created while the artist lived in Paris. It's not strictly a cubist painting, but you can see by the focus on geometric shapes in a very Picasso sort of fashion. Cubism and its influence were prominent in many of Rivera’s artwork from his time in The City of Light.
Diego Rivera, The Cafe Terrace (1915), Metropolitan Museum of Art
Cubism set geometric artistic expression on fire and the results can still be seen in contemporary works today. Bromances may not last forever, but this one surely had an impact on the world. Cubism was one of the first "isms" to get art nerds all hot and bothered, transforming the canon of art history into a period of abstraction that continues today.

caxton
«Printing [typography] was introduced in England in 1476 by William Caxton, who owes his fame, however, to more than the fact that he was England’s proto-typographer. For he was not only the first of English printers—he was also ‘the first in a long line of English publishers who have been men of letters … and was likewise one of the earliest in the succession of English merchants and men of affairs who have found recreation and fame in the production of literature’.» [d.b. updike, Printing Types, vol. 1, oxford university press, 1937, p113; updike is quoting from a paper by george parker winship: William Caxton, doves press, 1909]. it is a misnomer referring to caxton as printer—conjures images of setting type & pulling prints: he was a printer in the sense that he owned a printing establishment; but his press was for him a means to effect trade—he was his whole life a professional merchant. severin corsten in his paper «Caxton in Cologne» gives strong argument, deduced from the misty history surrounding caxton’s acquisition of the black art, that the city of cologne occasioned caxton’s close study of this new technology while seeing an edition of bartholemew’s De Proprietatibus Rerum through the press in johann veldener’s printing office (veldener had learned the art in the office of ulrich zell—cologne’s first printer); caxton may have also materially participated in this publication [Journal of the Printing Historical Society, No.11, 1975/6]. caxton set up his first office at bruge in 1472, where he issued the first printed, english language book in 1474, his first literary translation, Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye. finally, caxton removed back to london in the autumn of 1476 with apparatus & assistant, wynkyn de worde, establishing his office within the precincts of westminster abbey.
richard deacon [donald mccormick] tells us in his interesting book William Caxton the First English Editor [frederick muller, london, 1976, p92]: «It is clear that Caxton had a passion for the English language, for developing it and for changing it from a hotchpotch of dialects to a cohesive, expressive force.» caxton lamented the kentish weald dialect of his upbringing: «He was for ever striving after changing what he called ‘the rude and old Englyssh’.»* [ibid., p55].
deacon’s book is set throughout in monotype van dijck [english monotype 203]—inspiration for setting caxton’s locution in monotype’s digital reissue of van dijck italic. monotype van dijck italic is jan van krimpen’s 1937-8 adaptation of the Augustijn Romeyn italic cut by christoffel van dyck, as shown on the 1681 specimen issued as a sales catalogue by the widow of daniel elsevier, in amsterdam [stanley morison, A Tally of Types, cup, 1973, appendix p113 ]. the punches for van dyck’s founts passed down by sale through several foundries, finally again reuniting in 1799 in the famed amsterdam foundry joh. enschedé en zonen [ibid., p115].
digital print [toner] on cartiera amatruda amalfi.
*full context: «[I] somwhat have chaunged the rude and old Englyssh, that is to wete certayn wordes which in these dayes be neither usyd ne understanden» [cf. n.f. blake, Caxton and his World, andre deutsch, london, 1969, p181].
