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.

Sustainability Fights Against Climate-Change

Sustainable forestry practices are an important tool in the fight against climate change. By using lumber from sustainably managed forests in our products, we can help to reduce the carbon footprint of our business and support the health of the planet. It's a win-win for everyone involved.

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.

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

We source our wood from a select group of top-tier environmentally conscious lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. These mills specially dry and heat-treat the lumber to our specifications, resulting in about half the moisture content compared to wood from typical home improvement centers or lumber yards. This process makes the wood stronger, reducing the likelihood of cracking, splitting, or warping. While the wood we use comes at a higher cost, it ensures a more dimensionally stable end product. This stability is crucial for crafting fine professional canvases that support your invaluable art over time.

We offer two Masterpiece Classic depths (3/4" & 1-3/8"), as well as three canvas surfaces to choose from. There are dozens of standard sizes available for these products.

Since 1965, our passion for perfection has driven us at Masterpiece® to construct professional quality canvases that artists around the nation desire. All too often, other brands are more focused on saving cost and delivering less than adequate quality. However, we find that our customers not only desire fine quality, but they also tell us that their art is better for having painted on the exquisite canvases that we produce.

I wish they would only take me as I am. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

The enigmatic Post-Impressionist painter, Vincent Van Gogh lived a life characterized by a quest for understanding and acceptance. His intricate swirls of color, bold brushstrokes, and emotive landscapes reveal a soul yearning for connection, both to the world around him and to the people who encountered his work.

For many artists, the canvas becomes an extension of oneself. It's not just a medium to create art but a confessional space where emotions, thoughts, and vulnerabilities are laid bare. Van Gogh's poignant statement resonates with the universal human desire to be seen and understood without pretenses. In the world of art, this takes on even greater depth. As artists, we pour our essence into every piece, hoping that it speaks to someone, that it finds a resonance. Van Gogh's plea can be seen as a reflection of this sentiment, a hope that his work – and by extension, he himself – would be accepted without the need for adaptation or compromise.

In our art careers, while we navigate critiques and the ever-shifting tastes of the public, it's essential to remember the integrity and authenticity of our vision. Van Gogh's words serve as a reminder that the most profound connections are made when we remain true to ourselves, even in the face of misunderstanding or indifference.
