True 5:4 Photography Proportion - 16x20 Size

The 16x20 size is generally considered the most popular size in art. It doesn't take a lot of wall space, but it provides enough space on the canvas to create detail and made a statement without being too overpowering.

The 5:4 aspect ratio is common to both art and portrait photography, as it creates a visually pleasing format for the human figure and face. The balanced compositional format can help to create a sense of symmetry and harmony in your artwork. The 5:4 ratio has a familiar "feel", as it was commonly used in early computer monitors. Additionally, you might consider trying some relatively unknown sizes in this same proportion that we call Lost Sizes As an artist, you get the best of both worlds, because you still get to use the same aesthetically appealing 5:4 format and use rare or novel sizes that help make your art stand-out.

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.

 

Sausalito™ 11.5oz Acrylic Primed Cotton

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.

In art, one does not aim for simplicity, one achieves it unintentionally as one gets closer to the truth. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's artistic voyage was one punctuated by audacious experimentation and a relentless pursuit of authenticity. This observation highlights a cornerstone of his philosophy — the organic evolution of art. The path towards authenticity in art is seldom straightforward. It's riddled with complexities, and often, artists find themselves enveloped in layers of intricacies before a clearer vision emerges.

The pursuit of truth in art can lead to unexpected revelations. As we peel back layers, refine our techniques, and distill our messages, we inadvertently approach simplicity. This doesn't mean the process becomes easier; rather, our understanding of our craft and our own artistic voices becomes more crystalline. For many of us, it's a realization that art doesn't always require embellishment. Sometimes, the most profound statements are made when we embrace the unadorned, unfiltered essence of our visions.


We hope to inspire your art with this wonderful quote and our interpretation along with our own one-of-a-kind portrait of Paul Gauguin..got to love it!
