True 1:1 Square Proportion - 14x14 Size
The 14x14 square size is a little less common but gaining in popularity.
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.

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.

♦ Plutarch
The ancient historian and moralist, Plutarch lived in a time characterized by political upheavals and philosophical discourses. His deep insights into human nature and behavior stemmed from both observation and experience. Living in such a dynamic era, he was keenly aware of the necessity of adaptability and growth, both for individuals and societies. In the world of art, this adaptability is equally crucial. Observing and learning from others, even those we might view as competitors or rivals, can lead to profound personal and artistic development.
The canvas is not just a medium; it's a reflection of their inner world and the world around them. To evolve in our art career, we must be open to inspiration from every corner. Rather than viewing others as adversaries, seeing them as sources of knowledge allows us to embrace a diverse array of techniques, styles, and perspectives. By recognizing excellence wherever it may be found and integrating it into our work, we not only enhance our own creations but also contribute to the ever-evolving tapestry of art that binds us all together.
Celebrating the creativity in all of us, we've taken a step provide these words of wisdom and to immortalize Plutarch through our own unique portrait. Pick up your brush and create!
