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.

 

Sustainably Managed Forests

We use lumber grown in the sustainable forests of the Oregon, Washington, and California, where thereÕs more standing timber today than last century! Our forests purify the air, provide oxygen, and reduce global warming. More trees are needed on this planet, not fewer. Therefore, we use lumber grown in responsibly managed forests, so future generations can benefit from our collective responsible actions today.

 

26x69 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 16x59 Frame

Please note that you will need a canvas that is at least 10 Inches larger than the actual frame size to ensure proper stretching. This will provide ample material to stretch the canvas and attach it to the back of the frame. If you prefer to attach the canvas from the edge of the stretcher frame, you can reduce the size of your canvas by approximately 3/4" all the way around the frame. This will allow you to paint on the edge of the canvas and hang your artwork without needing a separate picture frame. And, if you ever need to remove the canvas from the frame and re-attach it, you'll have enough material to do that too.
 

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

One of our most appreciated products helps make your canvas tighter! Stretching a canvas tightly can be a challenge. Our Frame Kits include the Corner and Brace Keys that you will need to add tension, but Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Re-Tensioner is a way that you can use to add tension to the canvas without needed to use the keys. It canvas be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets. Recommended for acrylic primed cotton or linen canvas. We do not recommend it for oil primed canvas because there are simply too many different types of oil primed canvas, but used conservatively at your own risk, it will tension any canvas.

Geometry is the foundation of all painting. ♦ Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer, a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, beautifully merged art and mathematics in his work, leading to groundbreaking advances in the world of printmaking and illustration. Born in Nuremberg in 1471, Dürer's penchant for detail was evident early on. His exquisite engravings and woodcuts displayed not only his artistic brilliance but also his analytical mind. For Dürer, the precise lines, shapes, and proportions governed by geometry were not constraints; instead, they were the very tools that breathed life into his masterpieces.

The essence of Dürer's statement about geometry and painting becomes especially palpable when observing his meticulous studies of nature, human anatomy, and perspective. His treatise on geometry and human proportion, Four Books on Measurement, stands as a testament to his merging the seemingly disparate worlds of art and mathematics. The genius of Dürer lay in his realization that the natural world, in all its beauty, follows geometric patterns, and capturing this essence was key to achieving realism and depth in art. Through his belief in the fundamental role of geometry, Dürer not only elevated his own craft but also paved the way for future artists to approach their work with a harmonious blend of artistic intuition and mathematical precision.
