True 3:1 Panorama Proportion - 5x15 Size

This 5x15 Panorama size is popular for cinema and for art.

The 3:1 Panorama a proportion is preferred by many artists who require a super wide compositional format. Of course, this proportion is popularized by photographers and cinematographers, for ultra landscape and wide angled imagery that creates a sense of scope and grandeur in a scene, like cityscapes, ocean and mountain scenes, and scenes with expansive horizons. It is described as a polyomino proportion on the order of 3 or triple-square proportion. There are several common Panorama sizes in this 3:1 aspect ratio that you will recognize, and some are intriguing custom sizes, as well.

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.

To produce and sell consistently is something I cannot do. ♦ Nicolas de Staël

Nicolas de Staël's work, defined by its emotional intensity and innovative use of color, often pushed the boundaries of post-war European art. His reluctance to align with consistent production and sales perhaps arose from a deeper desire to stay true to his vision, rather than conforming to market demands. It's a sentiment known all too well by many artists who have felt the tension between commercial pressures and artistic integrity.

There exists, for us, a delicate balance between the necessity to make a living and the inner calling to produce art that is genuine, untouched by external influences. De Staël's declaration brings to the forefront the reality that the market can sometimes be at odds with the raw and ever-changing nature of creativity. For artists, the art we create is an extension of our soul, and its commodification can often feel dissonant with our true purpose.

His words serve as a reminder that success in the art world isn't solely about commercial gains, but about the legacy we wish to leave behind. They challenge us to think deeply about our intentions and motivations, urging us to prioritize authenticity and personal fulfillment over fleeting market trends. In a world that often measures success by numbers and sales, de Staël's statement remains a powerful testament to the enduring value of artistic integrity.
