Agree the article lacks content.
Just to raise a point on your comment - though 'midcentury modern' is a slippery term i dont think your references quite capture it. When i see the term it is generally less canonical modernism (architecture-focussed, pre-wwii, Corbusier/bauhaus, france/germany-led) and more something different (furniture focussed, post wwii, influenced by modernism but also arts and craft/frank lloyd wright/etc., scandinavian led with notable american examples).
I think theres a reason it has appeared as a term - because many things described by this term are quite definitely not 'moderism'
