A fine example of the art of necessity - printers in 1930's Spain, starved of funds, ingeniously used their resources at hand to respond and contribute to the era's avant-garde aesthetic. Printers transformed dingbats, bullets and ornaments into modern type and illustrations.
Sometimes constraints, limitations or problems to solve are to be embraced and can spur a dynamic response more creative and unique than having an abundance of resources or choices. Certainly a lesson I can apply to many facets of life.
