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

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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 end of Art is not to imitate a fixed material condition, but to represent a living motion. ♦ George Inness

When George Inness, known for his ethereal landscapes and deeply emotional undertones, spoke of art's purpose, he touched upon a sentiment that many artists intrinsically understand. While replication of the physical world holds its merit, it's the portrayal of emotion, energy, and movement that often elevates a piece from mere imitation to profound expression.

This insight invites us to consider the dynamism inherent in life. As we stand before our canvas, rather than focusing solely on static images or objects, we should endeavor to capture the undercurrents, the unseen winds, and the heartbeat of our subjects. By doing so, we not only create works that engage viewers but also produce pieces that pulse with the rhythm of life itself. In this pursuit, artists offer a glimpse into the ever-evolving dance of existence, ensuring that the art we produce not only reflects the world around us but also the life that courses through every facet of it.
