Masterpiece® takes pride in featuring the exceptional Artfix linen canvas, a hallmark of another family-owned business with over 50 years of expertise in Provence, France. Artfix stands out for its conservation-grade Belgian Linen, hand-primed by skilled artisans, catering to the needs of professional artists and conservation specialists. The collection boasts a variety of artist canvas types, including primed linens, cottons, and polyesters, highlighted by its Belgian linen weaves. From fine-tooth, quad-primed linens to the distinctive Belgian linen textures, the range covers a spectrum of desirable surfaces suitable for both intricate and large-scale artworks.
Each Artfix canvas is a masterpiece of preparation, beginning with up to two layers of specially formulated collagen and acrylic copolymer sizing. This essential process safeguards the canvas from the acidic elements in primers and paints, ensuring longevity and durability. Following this, the canvases receive between one and six layers of either oil-based or acrylic universal primer, making them versatile for various artistic mediums and techniques.
The oil-based primer from Artfix mirrors the traditional characteristics of lead priming but is free from harmful toxicity. This primer's unique properties enhance the absorption of oil paints, significantly improving adhesion, color depth, and luminosity. It is especially recommended for all oils and alkyd paints, providing artists with a reliable and high-quality surface for their creative expressions.

I love above all else the appearance of people who have grown old without breaking with old customs.
♦ Paul Cézanne
A post-impressionist who brought an analytical eye to every subject he approached, Paul Cézanne carried a reverence for tradition and the timeless elegance it bestows upon its adherents. This quote illuminates his admiration for individuals who age gracefully, maintaining ties to the rituals and customs of yesteryears, seemingly untouched by the relentless march of time.
Artists often find inspiration in the juxtaposition of the old with the new, the traditional with the innovative. And yet, as Cézanne aptly observes, there's something profoundly captivating about those who resist the siren call of change, choosing instead to preserve the ways of the past. In our modern age of rapid technological advancement and shifting societal norms, such individuals become living relics, embodiments of a bygone era. They serve as touchstones, grounding us in our shared history and reminding us of the enduring value of tradition.
In the art world, we recognize the merit of innovation, but there is also a profound respect for the foundational techniques and styles that have shaped the course of art history. In the same vein, the individuals Cézanne admires represent the anchoring forces in our lives. Their steadfastness becomes a source of inspiration, reminding us that while it's essential to evolve and grow, there's undeniable beauty in holding onto the core essence of who we are and where we come from.
We love fanning the flames of your artistic passion. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of this intriguing quote and context, and enjoy our own unique creation of this portrait of Paul Cézanne. Paint your heart out!
