True Golden Mean Proportion - 7x11 Size
This 7x11 size is one of our Golden Mean sizes, considered the most pleasing shape to the eye!
The Golden Ratio, also known as the Golden Mean or Divine Proportion, is considered the most aesthetically pleasing proportion to the human eye. This proportion has been used in art and architecture for thousands of years, and countless examples can be found in nature, plant life, galaxies, and the human body. The Golden Mean can also be used as a guide to arrange your subjects on the canvas in concert with other Golden Mean shapes like an ellipse, star, triangle, and spiral, resulting in intriguing compositions. Many famous artists, such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Mondrian, Botticelli, Dali, and Seurat, have used this proportion in their art, and many contemporary artists continue to use it exclusively. The Golden Ratio can even produce some mathematically intriguing relationships that relate directly to art, architecture, science, and human intrigue. If you're looking for a challenge and inspiration, consider using a canvas in the proportion of the Golden Mean to create a composition that will come alive in the most intriguing ways!

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.

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.

Without lies, humanity would perish of despair and boredom.
♦ Anatole France
The distinguished French writer, Anatole France had an uncanny knack for unearthing profound truths about the human condition. His statement serves as a thought-provoking reflection on the intricate web of truths and untruths that shape our lives.
At first glance, the notion might seem cynical. Yet, when we consider the imaginative tales we tell our children, the stories we craft to protect feelings, or the dreams we chase which may be grounded in half-truths, it becomes clear that lies, in various forms, play a pivotal role in our existence. For artists, the boundary between reality and imagination often blurs, giving birth to creations that inspire, move, and challenge us. This imaginative realm, fueled by 'untruths', helps combat the mundanity of the everyday.
However, Anatole's words are not an endorsement for deception but rather an acknowledgment of our need for fantasy, hope, and creativity. In our art and in our lives, it's essential to balance these flights of fancy with grounding truths, ensuring that while we may occasionally drift into the realm of the unreal, we remain tethered to the genuine essence of our humanity.
We believe in the power of words to inspire, and the magic of art to connect. Enjoy this meaningful quote with contextual background, and admire our unique rendition of Anatole France to complement your imagination. Get busy on your next composition!
