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.

Sustainably Managed Forests Inhale and Exhale

The world's forests are essential to human survival. Forests inhale carbon dioxide for the earth, and exhale oxygen essential for life. When we speak of the sustainable forest strategy of ensuring that more timber will exist in the same forest land than exists today, this is the only viable plan for the future of humanity. For this reason, we use only lumber from the sustainable forests of Oregon, Washington, and California, where there’s more standing timber today than last century!

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.

Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult. ♦ Robert Henri

The poignant reflections of Robert Henri, a leading figure of the Ashcan School of American Realism, bring to the fore the juxtapositions inherent in an artist's existence. Henri understood the transient nature of life and the enduring legacy of art. He recognized that while our lifespans are limited, the art we create has the potential to outlive us, bearing witness to our existence, our struggles, and our joys.

With every brushstroke or sculpted form, artists confront fleeting opportunities, hoping to capture moments, emotions, or insights before they slip away. But experience, with its unpredictable ebb and flow, can sometimes lead us astray, making the process of creation fraught with challenges. And then there's judgment - that final reckoning where we, and the world, evaluate the merit of our creations. Henri's words inspire us to persevere, to continue our quest for expression and understanding despite the inevitable challenges. In our art careers, let us remember that the path may be treacherous, but the pursuit, with its potential for eternal impact, is infinitely rewarding.
