True Golden Mean Proportion - 7x11 Size
This 7x11 size is one of our Golden Mean sizes, considered the most pleasing shape to the eye!
The Golden Ratio, also known as the Golden Mean or Divine Proportion, is considered the most aesthetically pleasing proportion to the human eye. This proportion has been used in art and architecture for thousands of years, and countless examples can be found in nature, plant life, galaxies, and the human body. The Golden Mean can also be used as a guide to arrange your subjects on the canvas in concert with other Golden Mean shapes like an ellipse, star, triangle, and spiral, resulting in intriguing compositions. Many famous artists, such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Mondrian, Botticelli, Dali, and Seurat, have used this proportion in their art, and many contemporary artists continue to use it exclusively. The Golden Ratio can even produce some mathematically intriguing relationships that relate directly to art, architecture, science, and human intrigue. If you're looking for a challenge and inspiration, consider using a canvas in the proportion of the Golden Mean to create a composition that will come alive in the most intriguing ways!

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.

♦ Wassily Kandinsky
Often heralded as the pioneer of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky deeply believed in the spiritual dimension of art. His works are not mere visual delights; they are symphonies of colors and shapes that evoke deep emotions and stir the soul. Kandinsky encourages us to let go of the logical and rational part of our brain, urging us to experience art with pure sensation, rather than overthinking or dissecting it.
For many artists, the goal is to transport the viewer to a different realm, a space uncharted and full of possibilities. When we, as viewers or creators, experience a piece of art, it's not always about understanding every brushstroke or note. It's about feeling, sensing, and being in that moment. Kandinsky's words remind us that sometimes, the most profound reactions are the ones that leave us speechless, where we find ourselves lost in the world the artist has crafted. Such moments are when we truly connect with art, transcending the boundaries of language and thought.
With an artist's spirit and a modern touch, we bring you this hand-selected quote and provide context to its meaning. To tie it all together, we include our own one-of-a-kind portrayal of Wassily Kandinsky. Now let your colors flow!
