Monet™ Pro 1.5" Deep Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

1/2" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

• Produces a 1.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

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.

The true purpose of the painter is to reflect the higher spiritual side in his art, not the world of the senses. ♦ George Inness

George Inness, renowned for his atmospheric landscapes that straddle the line between realism and abstraction, believed in the transcendent potential of art. His emphasis on the higher spiritual side is a nod to the ineffable nature of the artistic process. While the world around us offers a myriad of tangible inspirations, Inness suggests that it is the intangible, the spiritual, that should be the true compass guiding an artist's hand.

In the busy art studios and workshops, artists often find themselves navigating the balance between the seen and the unseen. The tangible world provides form, color, and structure. But it is in channeling the ethereal, the emotions and insights that are felt more than they are seen, that we give our creations soul. By tapping into this spiritual realm, we not only elevate our work but also invite our audience to connect with the deeper truths and emotions that art can evoke. In doing so, we offer a respite from the sensory overload of the modern world and a chance to connect with something profound and timeless.
