Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

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.

Our Hardcore™ Pro Pro Canvas Panels are the flattest on the market. They are made using MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is the highest quality engineered wood board on the market. Moisture in the board can cause undesirable results to the panel and your artwork, which is why we size the board with four layers on the front before the canvas is mounted, thereby defending against moisture getting into the board and underneath your artwork.

Canvas Panels should be as flat as possible, otherwise, they don't display well in a frame, and can create spaces between the artwork and the frame. A bowed panel is also a sign of having been impacted by the effect of moisture. Canvas can shrink, even after it is mounted on the board. For this reason, Masterpiece® developed a unique proprietary process that stress-relieves each panel, thereby virtually eliminating the bow that is commonly found in competing panel products. Hardcore™ Pro Canvas Panels provide a stable foundation for your art.

The pretty little women who prance about the streets, particularly on Sundays, are not in the least like the race I sing of. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, throughout his career, demonstrated a fascination with capturing the essence of indigenous cultures and the deeper, uncommercialized truths of human existence. This quote sheds light on Gauguin's discerning perspective on societal norms and his inherent resistance to superficiality. He was often disappointed by the societal façades people wore, which, in his eyes, masked the raw essence of humanity.

In an era where impressionism was capturing fleeting moments and the play of light, Gauguin's work was a divergence. He sought depth, authenticity, and a connection with ancient traditions and primal human instincts. To him, the societal portrayal of women, especially in European urban settings, was but a mere shadow of the profound depths and stories that humans, especially women, held within them. We, as artists, often find ourselves at similar crossroads, torn between the allure of modern aesthetics and the call of a deeper, rawer narrative.

His relentless pursuit in Polynesia to encapsulate the spirit of a race unaltered by Western influences is a testament to his commitment to authenticity. For us, Gauguin's approach serves as a reminder to look beyond the immediate, the trending, and the superficial. Instead, we should seek to delve into the depths of our subjects, find the stories untold, and bring them to life with the same fervor and commitment as Gauguin did in his time.
