Monet Pro means a 1-1/2" deep canvas that is stretched using our MuseumWrap™ back-stapled method with folded corners. Our proprietary stretching process uses pneumatically controlled machines that we built to yield drum-tight tension. See below to learn more about the finest professional quality artist canvas on the market.

 

True 15:11 Custom Proportion - 22x30 Size

This 22x30 is common, but the 15:11 aspect ratio is unusual.

It is quite common that an artist would choose a size or proportion that is uncommon to help create a sense of uniqueness and originality. By using a non-traditional proportion, you can differentiate your work from other artists and essentially create a piece that is truly one-of-a-kind. Non-standard sizes tend to challenge the creative process by pushing the boundaries of what is generally considered "normal" in the world of art. By working with a non-traditional proportion, such as this 15:11 Custom, you might discover new compositional possibilities by creating a unique visual impact or expression in a way not possible by using the same standard sizes everyone else uses.

__

Sometimes you may need a non-standard size or proportion to match your artwork to a specific space or location where it will hang to optimize the display. Using a non-traditional canvas size might also be more practical in nature, such as when you are working on a specific commission that requires a certain size or shape. The non-traditional size may align better with your working style or the nature of your subject matter.

  • Patented keyable cross braces allow the frame to be tensioned in the middle of the canvas, where the tension needed the most
  • Cross braces firmly attached with hardware at the intersection point for maximum support and rigidity
  • To increase canvas tension: 1) remove any staples in the corners and those that retain the brace keys in the middle, 2) tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, 3) tighten and re-staple the canvas in the corners
 

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 canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
  • 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
  • Frames with a dimension of 20" and up have a groove machined in the center inside perimeter to which cross braces attach
  • 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.

 

Cross Braces Make it Tighter

A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.

When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.

 

Selective Harvesting in our Sustainable Forests

Intelligent selective harvesting of timber is an ecological method to replace the natural occurrences of forest fires and disease and landslides that can devastate forests. This is all part of the process of sustainable forest management to which we subscribe when we choose which lumber we use in our products.

 

Canvas Tension is in Your Control

In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.

Our Monet Pro professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8" of an inch, so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.

  • Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
  • Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
  • True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension

The art of today is the echo of the future. ♦ Robert Delaunay

Exploring the avant-garde realm of Orphism, Delaunay blurred the lines between present inspirations and future imaginings. His work, often ahead of its time, encapsulated this very sentiment. Just as ripples in a pond predict the trajectory of a tossed stone, Delaunay believed that contemporary art was not merely a reflection of the now but a harbinger of what's to come.

This perspective holds profound significance for artists. We're not just shaping clay, mixing colors, or arranging notes; we're sending messages into tomorrow. Our creations are seeds, and the art world of the future will be the forest they birth. Delaunay's observation urges us to be mindful of the echoes we send forth, ensuring they are imbued with intention, vision, and hope.


We hope to inspire your art with this wonderful quote and our interpretation along with our own one-of-a-kind portrait of Robert Delaunay..got to love it!
