No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

All pictures painted inside, in the studio, will never be as good. ♦ Paul Cézanne

A mastermind of post-impressionism, Paul Cézanne is celebrated for his transformative approach to art, which laid the foundations for the transition from 19th-century artistic conventions to the unparalleled world of 20th-century modernism. With his vivid landscapes, often composed of Mont Sainte-Victoire, and still lifes bursting with life, he captured nature's essence like few others.

This sentiment about the limitations of the studio reflects Cézanne's deep reverence for nature. He believed that to truly capture the vibrancy and spirit of a subject, an artist needed to immerse themselves in it. Outdoor painting, or en plein air, was not merely a choice but a necessity for him. While studios provide a controlled environment, nature offers unpredictability, a myriad of shifting colors, and an ever-changing play of light and shadow. As artists, when we position ourselves amidst these elements, we not only observe but also feel and live the scene, allowing us to represent it with more authenticity and vitality.

For Cézanne, the outside world was a symphony, and every brushstroke was an effort to capture its melody. His words serve as a timeless reminder for us, highlighting the value of stepping out of our comfort zones and confronting our subjects in their raw, unfiltered beauty. While studios have their merits, there's an undeniable magic in embracing the world in its entirety, absorbing its hues, its moods, and its spirit.
