Erik Satie was sentenced to 8 days imprisonment for a postcard he sent to a critic #DailyInspiration
I love the 'Dear Friend' touch
(text from 'Electronic and Experimental Music: Pioneers in Technology and Composition' by Thomas B. Holmes).
In the end, Satie got away with a suspended sentence for libel & had to pay 1000 francs in damages.
Here's Picasso & co working on the frontcloth for 'Parade'. Apollinaire wrote the program notes, coining the term 'surrealism', for the performance, in the process.

Jean Cocteau created a journal called 'Le Mot', with Paul Iribe, during the First World War. It was filled with jingoistic stuff (attacking the Kaiser, celebrating the French war dead, alleging atrocities) but the design was sweet.
On the day this particular issue was published, French soldiers were trying to take hold of Hartmannswillerkopf peak from German forces. 30,000 would die. It was known as the 'mountain that devoured men'.
On the day this issue came out, the Woman's Peace Party was formed in Washington, D.C.

Chanced upon this ice palace built in Montreal in the 1880s, which reminded me of a story I read about Empress Anna of Russia. She was quite a character. She used to shot at birds from her palace windows and made one of her jesters marry a goat.
When one of her princes married a Catholic, she decided to torment and ridicule him for her amusement. She first made him a jester then forced him to marry an old unattractive maid. Their wedding would be spectacular.
She had a huge ice palace built on the frozen river, surrounded by ice trees, birds & a fire-breathing elephant. Inside, there was ice furniture, clocks & a bed into which she forced the naked newly-weds (who'd arrived in a cage). They barely survived. Anna found it all hilarious

The underwater photography of Christy Lee Rogers' astonishing 'Muses Collection' is really chiming with my inner Catholic, however deep that is buried christyleerogers.com/muses/
By comparison, here's the ceiling of the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome, painted by the Jesuit brother Andrea Pozzo between 1685 and 1694.
Also, the ceiling of Palazzo Barberini (1633-1639) by Pietro da Cortona upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm…

On a Berenice Abbott binge at the moment. She took this shot of New York in 1932.
She had an incredible ability to capture the colossal scale of the modern metropolis - for example, 'Seventh Avenue Looking South from 35th Street, Manhattan
December 5, 1935'
This is her "View from West Street, Manhattan, March 23, 1938". You can see how writers reached for natural comparisons, such as canyons and mountains, to describe what was happening; the language of the Sublime, in terms of awe and destruction.
