Ceiling and doors, rough sawn Hemlock

Hemlock (also known as Tsuga in Japan where it grows prolifically) is a conifer that when rough sawn gives the impression of suede.  Though named Hemlock, it has NO relation to the poisonous plant Hemlock other than a shared aroma. It is primarily used for wood pulp in the US.  On the East Coast of the US, Hemlock is endangered by a sap sucker bug (related to the aphid).  It also grows in the Pacific North West.

Georges Braque 1882-1963 Argenteuil France

Lithograph 233/300 from etching of original painting, 1962.

Published and printed by Maeght Editeur Paris, France.

Georges Braque is an acclaimed 20^th century painter who also did sculpture, printing and collages.  He is best known as a pioneer of modernism and as the co-founder of Cubism with Pablo Picasso.  At the age of 79, Braque became the first living artist to be accorded a solo exhibition at the Louvre Paris.  He was also awarded state honors at his funeral.

Braque created the 1955 label for Chateau Mouton Rothschild.

Braque can be seen in the permanent collections in the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco and New York, the Art Institute of Chicago to name a few.  He has works exhibited in the most acclaimed museums in the world.

In 2022 our Lab staff requested art work that reflected the actual work done in our lab.  Todd Pickering, a photographer that has done many photos for Opus One over the years was called to address this request.  The Lab staff picked from the photos taken by Todd and the 3 selected were mounted on board and hung in the Lab.

The beakers photo is of our own beakers sampling and testing the wine.  The vine photo is of an immature cluster of grapes in our vineyard.  Our Lab tests all parts of the vine, as well as the grapes at all stages of their development.  The third photo is taken through a microscope and is a photo of one of our indigenous yeasts, named “squirrel” (a Lab favorite…).
