Robert Longo, The Haunting (2005), all images via Kunsthalle Weishaupt
On display at Kunsthalle Weishaupt through September 25 is Robert Longo’s first solo exhibition in a German museum since 2005. Covering two floors, the exhibition presents over forty drawings from the museum’s collection — including pieces from his Magellan series — as well as works from Longo’s estate. Longo is known primarily for his drawings and sculpture, though he also works in film. More recently, Longo has been working with charcoal to make photorealistic drawings of images taken from the media which highlight such themes as environmental disaster, violence, and kitsch – a cynical look at modern American life.

Robert Longo, Untitled (Nagasaki, B) (2003)
His Untitled (Nagasaki, B) from 2003 is a charcoal drawing, based on a photograph, of the mushroom cloud from the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan on August 9th 1945. On the one hand, there is a heightened sense of reality in his charcoal: the blacks become blacker, and the clouds even softer. On the other, his interpretation seems ever so sinisterly dreamlike, as if this is just another explosion of cloud formations.

Robert Longo, Untitled (Hot Sun) (2006)
Similarly eerie in its realism is his charcoal Untitled (Hot Sun) from 2006. Here, Longo has drawn the sun on a black background, hovering eternally in space. The meticulously detailed white-hot flames of the sun appear too hot to touch as they lick the dark sky.

Robert Longo, Untitled (Manuela) (2007)

Robert Longo, Untitled (Ophelia #4) (2005)
In sharp contrast to these black and white drawings is Untitled (Ophelia #4) an ink and charcoal drawing of a red rose. The flower opens in a manner that recalls works by Georgia O’Keeffe but it is altogether more realistic, the petals rich and velvety. It is, in a sense, more optimistic in feeling than many of his black and white drawings.
Longo’s exacting realism and extraordinary detail make clear his capacity for drawing, and the other works in the show only underscore his talent. The Weishaupt’s strong collection in combination with the pieces from Longo make for a notable exhibition.

******************** Fort Myers, FL – Crystek’s new CVCO55CXT-6900-6900 Coaxial Resonator Oscillator (CRO) is a coaxial-based VCO with an internal proprietary frequency doubler. The CVCO55CXT family’s frequency doubling, 2X fundamental technology reaches new performance levels of lower phase noise and much lower harmonics over the competition, while achieving lower current consumption in the process.
The CVCO55CXT-6900-6900 operates at 6900 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5 Vdc to 4.5 Vdc. This coaxial VCO features a typical phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz @ 10KHz offset and has good linearity. The CVCO55CXT-6900-6900 CRO exhibits an output power of 2.0 dBm typ. into a 50 ohm load with a supply of +8.0 Vdc and a current consumption of 35 mA (max.). ftmyersflnow.net ft myers fl
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the CVCO55CXT-6900-6900 CRO is packaged in the industry-standard 0.5-in x 0.5-in package. Pushing and Pulling are both minimized to 1.5 MHz/V and 0.5 MHz, respectively. Second harmonic suppression is -30 dBc typical.
The CVCO55CXT-6900-6900 is ideal for use in applications such as digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems, and base stations.
