5x7 Classic Value Smooth Canvas 3/4" Deep #CP-0507

True 7:5 Photography Proportion - 5x7 Size

And 5x7, of course, is one of the most popular sizes ever in both photography and art..ever!

Another widely used proportion in photography is the 7:5 aspect ratio, but is relatively uncommon in art, save for the 5x7 size. It is commonly accepted as a pleasing proportion. Some artists choose this proportion to add visual interest by breaking away from more traditional shaped canvas sizes. There are only a handful of standard canvas sizes in this ratio, but there are a whole collection of (what we call) Lost Sizes in this aspect ratio, which are often unknown sizes that add intrigue to the final composition.

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.

It is easier to portray a man in motion than one at rest. ♦ Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer, the prodigious Renaissance artist, was not just known for his exquisite woodcuts and engravings but also for his profound observations on art. When he remarks on the comparative ease of portraying movement over stillness, one could almost hear the rustling of his sketches. Capturing motion can often mean capturing the essence of life, the vitality, the fleeting moments that define existence. A gesture, a stride, or a turn of the head, these dynamics are packed with stories, and they often speak louder than static poses. As artists, we often find ourselves in a dance with our subjects, trying to encapsulate that perfect moment of aliveness.

Yet, Dürer's comment also carries a more profound reflection on the human condition. In stillness, the depths and complexities of the soul come to the forefront. It's in the quiet moments, where the internal world blooms. To convey this depth requires a deep understanding and intimacy with the subject. Capturing the silent introspection in the eyes of a subject can produce an even more compelling piece. Remember Dürer's words and delve deeper, embracing both the dynamism of motion and the profound silence of stillness.
