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.

To me, barbaric art is of more interest than civilized art. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's fervor for what he deemed barbaric art reveals a core element of his artistic philosophy. Throughout his life, Gauguin exhibited a hunger for authenticity, an attribute he believed was sometimes masked by the veneers of civilization. In his quest for artistic truth, he was often drawn towards cultures that had remained relatively untouched by the sweeping hand of Western influence.

The allure of barbaric or primal art lies in its rawness and directness. Such artworks, unfettered by the conventions and constructs of civilized societies, possess an immediacy of expression that strikes straight to the core of human experience. While many artists find solace in the techniques and tools taught to them, there are those among us who find inspiration in the unfiltered expressions of cultures distant from our own. By turning to these untamed sources, we hope to tap into an elemental essence, a purity often lost in the noise of modernity.

Gauguin's fascination with the art of indigenous cultures is not merely an appreciation for their aesthetic but a deeper recognition of the universal truths they encapsulate. It serves as a call to action for artists to seek out the fundamental, the unadulterated, and the real, even in the midst of an increasingly complex world. Just as Gauguin was captivated by the depth and richness of barbaric art, we too are invited to broaden our horizons, to venture beyond the familiar, and to embrace the myriad expressions of humanity in all its vibrant hues.

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

While all of our Masterpiece® Pro canvases are stretched very tightly and our frames have a built-in method to increase tension, we have another method to add canvas tension. Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner (sold separately) can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
