...general election day, Nov. 7. The Texas Secretary of State then ordered that the special election ballot should go atop the general election ballot, putting Sekula-Gibbs' name in full view of the voters, along with four other Republicans and a Libertarian. Former Democratic Congressman Lampson, who was redrawn out of his old Houston-area district as part of the infamous DeLay redistricting plan, chose not to run in the special election for the two months left of DeLay's term - most likely because he would not win, Republican Masset said...
Washington Sept. 27, 1993 For four days the diagram of the proceedings had been drawn and redrawn, until finally it was agreed they all would stand to talk, sit to sign, stand again.

But the Valkhof show makes up for these missing pieces in a creative way: it features an animation of two scenes, February and April, from Les Très Riches Heures. The miniatures have been digitally redrawn and brought to life in a short video, through which the viewer is taken on a fly-through. The Late Gothic paintings lend themselves astonishingly well to this modern technique-it's hard not to feel chilled by the snowy February "landscape."
