10x10 3D Pro Grenoble Canvas 3-1/2" #DG-1010

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 10x10 Size

10x10 is one of our most desirable square sizes.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

1/2" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

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.

Perfume, like our clothing, should be in harmony with our individual taste, and yet be an expression of our inner self. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, known primarily for his evocative paintings, also possessed a profound understanding of the nuances of human identity. Just as he believed in the deep, personal nature of artistic expression, he viewed the choice of perfume, much like clothing, as a reflection of one's intimate self. In his travels and interactions with various cultures, Gauguin would have experienced a symphony of scents and styles, each carrying a distinct story and identity.

This sentiment reminds us that true creativity is an external manifestation of our innermost thoughts and feelings. Just as one might carefully select a fragrance or an outfit that resonates with their mood or identity on a particular day, our artworks convey the myriad emotions and experiences that shape us. As we pour our souls into our creations, we communicate not just with the world around us but also with the depths of our own being, striving for that perfect harmony that Gauguin so cherished.
