True Dynamic Root-2 Proportion - 7x10 Size
This 7x10 is one of our Dynamic Root-2 Rectangle Root-2 Rectangle series.
The Dynamic Root-2 rectangle is an interesting proportion based on organizing your spatial composition with endless symmetrical divisions. The premise in Jay Hambridge's 1926 book is that the Dynamic Symmetry of individual elements are informed by their relationship to the entire composition. This very special proportion is guided by the square roots of integers and has a storied and historical basis in art.
_It involves the use of geometric shapes and patterns in the proportion of the square root of 2 to 1 to create balance and harmony in a composition. This can be achieved by dividing a composition into a grid of squares or rectangles, and then placing elements within the grid in a way that follows the principles of dynamic symmetry. Dynamic symmetry is often used to create a sense of order and structure in a composition, and can be particularly useful for creating compositions that are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

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.

- 1.25" wide Stretcher Bar
- All Bars have an exclusive groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to which cross braces and Diamond Corner Braces attach
- Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest
Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not
We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.
The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.
As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.
♦ Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin's relationship with art was characterized by an intense inner dialogue and a profound connection to his subjects. In his times in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands, he became intimately familiar with the raw beauty of nature. The lush landscapes, vibrant hues, and the enigmatic allure of the islands influenced not just his palette, but also his philosophy. While the idea of surrendering to nature might seem like letting the external world dictate the art, Gauguin proposes another perspective.
Every artist knows the sensation of a piece taking on a life of its own. It starts with an inspiration, a vision, but as hands touch the canvas, something transformative occurs. The art begins to speak, to guide, and sometimes, to demand. Surrendering to the picture means recognizing this organic relationship between artist and artwork. It means allowing the art to evolve, trusting the process, and understanding that, just as we shape our creations, they shape us in return. In that mutual surrender, lies the purest form of artistic expression, where we find ourselves immersed, not just in the beauty of nature, but in the depths of our own creativity.
We are innately drawn to the act of creation. We've channeled this drive to curate this inspiring quote and contex along with our own portrait we created of Paul Gauguin..our tribute to the timeless dance of creativity. Go paint!
