Emilio Longoni (Barlassina, 9 July 1859 - Milan, 29 November 1932) - Girl with a cat (1892-93) - Oil on panel 24 x 33 cm. - Exhibition Divisionism The revolution of light - Novara Castle
Il Divisionismo nasce a Milano, sulla stessa premessa del Neo-Impressionnisme francese, meglio noto come Pointillisme, senza tuttavia che si possa parlare di influenza diretta. Muove dall’idea che lo studio dei trattati d’ottica, che hanno rivoluzionato il concetto di colore, debba determinare la tecnica del pittore moderno. Si sviluppa nel Nord d’Italia, grazie soprattutto al sostegno di Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, mercante d’arte, critico, pubblicista e a sua volta pittore, che con il fratello Alberto gestisce a partire del 1876 una galleria d’arte a Milano. E’ Vittore a diffondere tra i pittori della sua scuderia il principio della sostituzione della miscela chimica dei colori tradizionalmente ottenuta sulla tavolozza, con un approccio diretto all’accostamento dei toni complementari sulla tela. Da dato chimico, il colore diventa fenomeno ottico e alla dovuta distanza l’occhio dello spettatore può ricomporre le pennellate staccate in una sintesi tonale, percependo una maggior luminosità nel dipinto.
Divisionism was born in Milan, on the same premise as the French Neo-Impressionnisme, better known as Pointillisme, without however being able to speak of direct influence. It starts from the idea that the study of optical treatises, which have revolutionized the concept of color, should determine the technique of the modern painter. It develops in Northern Italy, thanks above all to the support of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, art dealer, critic, publicist and in turn painter, who with his brother Alberto has been managing an art gallery in Milan since 1876. Vittore spreads the principle of replacing the chemical mixture of colors traditionally obtained on the palette among the painters in his stable, with a direct approach to the combination of complementary tones on the canvas. From chemical data, the color becomes an optical phenomenon and at the necessary distance the viewer's eye can recompose the detached brush strokes in a tonal synthesis, perceiving a greater brightness in the painting.

No matter the terrain or situation, the DSN hardsuit division has equipped their host The Atreides Empire to dominate.
The Rhino is seen here staging for a suburban/light forest operation near a recently abandoned rail station.
Equipped with a melee saw, the quad rocket launcher, and the standard anti infantry auto tracking mini cannons above the dome this little beast packs a big punch. A unique accessory is the hardened carbo-steel shield.
The Gull is depicted mid-flight on mission to an undisclosed mountainous location to perform aerial and possibly light ground recon. Equipped with a melee lightsaber, a mid-caliber pistol, and the standard anti infantry auto tracking mini cannons above the dome, the Gull is speedy but able to hold its own. A unique accessory is the jet pack/maneuvering wings package.
Finally, the Reaver is shown on the deck of a picket cruiser still stationed above the DA world, ready for EVA operations. The Reaver is equipped with a nano-edge melee sword, a quad rocket launcher, a laser rifle, and the standard anti infantry auto tracking mini cannons above the dome. There's no EVA or boarding action too intense for this hardware. Two unique accessories are the maneuvering thruster backpack and the grapple hook seen over the left arm.
All hardsuits base hardware is the same, as such the height of the completed suits all fall under 8 bricks, as seen by the blue container and stack of grey boxes in two of the images (the wings and sword fold down). This enables a standard carriage container which yields a happy fleet logistics division!

The Oakland Motor Company and Pontiac Spring & Wagon Works Company merged in November 1908 under the name of the Oakland Motor Car Company. The operations of both companies were joined together in Pontiac, Michigan (in Oakland County) to build the Cartercar.
