Vegan Ground:

There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.

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.

Why shouldn't art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A pivotal figure of the Impressionist movement, Pierre-Auguste Renoir held an ethos that shimmered with optimism. His work, awash with soft hues and scenes of everyday life, was an ode to the beauty and simplicity that surrounded him. At a time when the art world was in flux, with newer forms pushing boundaries and exploring deeper, often darker themes, Renoir's perspective offered a refreshing contrast.

Art has myriad roles: to challenge, to provoke, to inspire, and yes, to beautify. While some artists harness their craft to spotlight societal ills or inner turmoil, others, like Renoir, choose to celebrate the joyous and harmonious aspects of life. In a world where artists often grapple with complex narratives, Renoir's sentiment gently nudges us towards acknowledging the profound impact of beauty. It's not a retreat from reality but rather an assertion that amidst the chaos, there's a space for elegance and charm.

We have the liberty to decide what lens we view the world through. Renoir's words are an affirmation that it's alright to create art that offers solace, a respite, or simply a moment of delight. Amidst the cacophony of life's challenges, sometimes, a beautiful artwork is just the balm the soul needs.
