True Dynamic Root-5 Proportion - 9x20 Size

This 9x20 is one of our Dynamic Root-5 Rectangle Root-5 Rectangle series.

The Dynamic Root-5 rectangle is an inspiring 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 5 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.

3D™ Pro 2.5 Stretcher Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

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.

  • Produces a 2.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
  • 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
 

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.

I applied streaks and blobs of colors onto the canvas with a palette knife, and I made them sing with all the intensity I couldÉ. ♦ Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky, often heralded as the pioneer of abstract art, was not just a painter, but a symphonist of color. His approach to his canvas was akin to a maestro composing an orchestra, where every hue had its own note, rhythm, and voice. This quote captures a moment of raw, fervent creativity; a moment when Kandinsky wasn't just applying color but was orchestrating a visual melody.

Many artists can empathize with this sentiment. When we immerse ourselves in our work, the materials we use become extensions of our emotions and intentions. A palette knife isn't just a tool; it becomes the conductor's baton, guiding the chorus of colors to create harmonies and contrasts, evoking emotions and thoughts in those who witness the final piece. It reminds us that art is more than technique; it's about pouring our soul into every movement, making each streak and blob sing, and expressing our innermost emotions with fervor and authenticity.


We curated this empowering quote with some context and hope you find it insightful, plus we created this unique portrait of Wassily Kandinsky to make it a bit more intriguing. Now get to work on your own!

 

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.
