True Dynamic Root-2 Proportion - 24x34 Size

This 24x34 is one of our Dynamic Root-2 Rectangle Root-2 Rectangle series.

The Dynamic Root-2 rectangle is an interesting proportion based on organizing your spatial composition with endless symmetrical divisions. The premise in Jay Hambridge's 1926 book is that the Dynamic Symmetry of individual elements are informed by their relationship to the entire composition. This very special proportion is guided by the square roots of integers and has a storied and historical basis in art.

_

It involves the use of geometric shapes and patterns in the proportion of the square root of 2 to 1 to create balance and harmony in a composition. This can be achieved by dividing a composition into a grid of squares or rectangles, and then placing elements within the grid in a way that follows the principles of dynamic symmetry. Dynamic symmetry is often used to create a sense of order and structure in a composition, and can be particularly useful for creating compositions that are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

Raw #10 Cotton 14.5 oz Unprimed

Very heavy weight unprimed cotton canvas. Take control of your art, prepare your own ground, or use bare canvas expanses as part of the art. Great for staining or pouring, resulting in a fluid and spontaneous convergence of the image and fabric.

  • 100% Cotton 14.5 oz. per square yard
  • Very Heavy Weight, Dense Weave, Robust Texture
 

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
 

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.

 

24x34 Monet Pro Frame Kit Extra Heavy Frame Provides Superior Support

  • Photo displays the exact frame construction, not the proportion
  • Precision machined heavy duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
  • Two super strong 3/4" thick keyable cross braces (3.25" wide) provide the maximum possible support for this 24x34 frame - Cross Braces may be removed and reinserted at any time
  • An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of all of the Stretcher Bars to which the Braces and the expansion wedges attach
  • 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
 

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
 

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.

 

Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests

Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future. Increasing our number of trees is just as essential to our economy, as the harvest itself, which is why we select only timber harvested from responsibly managed forests.

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

Our wood is handpicked from a curated group of environmentally responsible lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. By adhering to our precise drying and heat-treatment standards, these mills produce lumber with nearly half the moisture you'd find in common home improvement outlets or lumber yards. This meticulous process not only enhances the wood's strength—minimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bends—but also elevates its dimensional stability. Such quality, despite its premium, is paramount in creating professional canvases designed to uphold the sanctity of your cherished art throughout the years.

One must work and dare if one really wants to live. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

Of the countless souls that have graced our world, Vincent Van Gogh stands out not just for his ethereal brush strokes but for his indomitable spirit. Born into an age where mental health was scarcely understood, Van Gogh faced numerous personal challenges. Yet, he continuously pushed himself, painting some of the most iconic artworks known to humanity. He believed that merely existing wasn't enough; it was imperative to push boundaries, to dare. And for artists, this sentiment holds profound weight.

In the intricate dance of colors and forms, it is easy to become complacent, sticking to the tried and tested. But Van Gogh's life and works urge artists to step beyond the familiar. His vivid yellows, deep blues, and swirling stars weren't products of conformity but of audacious experimentation. And in this, we find a lesson. As artists, our greatest achievements often come when we dare, when we challenge the norms, and when we work tirelessly towards our vision. For in the relentless pursuit of artistry, we not only craft masterpieces but truly begin to live.


To enhance your creative exploration of our site, we offer the insightful wisdom of Vincent Van Gogh, our interpretation, and little one-of-a-kind portrait that we created. Now go paint!
