...first time since the 15th century, brothers Herman, Paul and Jean Limbourg's brilliant and colorful miniature illuminations will be shown together at the Valkhof Museum in "The Limbourg Brothers, Nijmegen Masters at the French Court (1400-1416)" until Nov. 20. The exhibition shows four out of six surviving manuscripts, which the brothers illuminated while in residence at the Paris court from 1400 to 1416-the year all three died, presumably from the plague. It also places the works in the context of contemporary art, which demonstrates a conscientious interest in small details and animal anatomy, quite...

...already examining precisely the way bodies and furniture get along. The new name for his human-factor investigations, ergonomics, was not yet current, but Stumpf made charts, diagrams and, eventually, time-lapse films, becoming a sort of Muybridge of the 9-to-5 realm. In the mid-'70s at Herman Miller, he began turning that research into drawings. The Ergon is a descendant of Eames' designs, an out-of-sequence missing link between the lucid but barebones molded-plywood chair (1946) and the voluptuous, baroque lounge chair (1956) so beloved of big men with dens. The quiet swerves of Ergon...
