True 4:1 Super Panorama Proportion - 15x60 Size
This dramatic 15x60 size is in the 4:1 Aspect Ratio.
The 4:1 Super Panorama proportion has gained interest with a lot of artists, providing even a more dramatic and eye-catching compositional format. The unusual proportion provides the artist with a unique perspective with which to tell their story on canvas. This proportion is called a "polyomino proportion on the order of 4", or a linear tetromino object.

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars
Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.
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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.
The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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.

Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
♦ John Singer Sargent
John Singer Sargent, a master of portraiture, was acutely aware of the weight and responsibility of capturing a subject's essence on canvas. While his skill was unparalleled, the intimate nature of portraiture often led to the exposure of vulnerabilities, unseen facets, and sometimes, uncomfortable truths. The realization of one's own likeness, with all its complexities, might have strained relationships. As artists, we frequently grapple with this tension - the balance between our creative interpretation and the subject's self-perception. Through our work, we can form deep connections but also face the risk of revealing more than what might be palatable to our subjects.
Draw inspiration from the words of wisdom by John Singer Sargent, plus our interpretation of its meaning, along with our own rendered portrait of John Singer Sargent. Now get busy on your own canvas!
