7x7 Monet Pro Versailles Canvas 1-1/2" Deep #ML-0707

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 7x7 Size

This 7x7 size an intriguing and atypical small size odd square.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

In time of war, the laws fall silent. ♦ Cicero

Cicero, the eminent Roman statesman and orator, bore witness to tumultuous periods in Roman history, observing firsthand the interplay between politics, war, and societal values. His observation about the muteness of laws during wartime isn't merely a comment on legal structures; it's a reflection on human nature and the sacrifices made in the face of existential threats.

Such poignant insights from historic figures remind us of the power of our medium to document, to challenge, and to comment. While laws may fall silent, our brushes, palettes, and canvases remain vocal, capturing the raw essence of humanity during its darkest hours. We hold a mirror to society, reminding it of its beauty, its flaws, and its resilience. Cicero's statement challenges us to rise to our roles as chroniclers of time, ensuring that even in the face of overwhelming adversity, the spirit of humanity remains undimmed and unbroken.
