7x11 3D Pro Raw No 10 Canvas 2-1/2" #DRT-0711

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!

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

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.

The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul. ♦ Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer in the abstract art movement, was not just focused on the visual aspect of art, but also the spiritual. He believed that art was more than mere representation; it was a bridge to the ethereal, the unseen. Kandinsky's conviction stemmed from his own experiences with color and form, where he felt a deeper connection to the intangible, evoking feelings and emotions that transcended the physical world.

Artists understand that the technical mastery of a craft is just one aspect of the creative process. The soul's nurturing and exploration play a pivotal role in our work. By connecting with our innermost feelings, desires, and fears, we breathe life into our creations. The artworks then become not just objects of beauty, but mirrors reflecting our deepest self. Just as Kandinsky alluded, our soul's engagement is as crucial as our eye's precision, and together, they elevate our work to realms that touch not just the eyes, but the hearts of those who experience it.
