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
Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not
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 make are part of the archival process.
The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.
As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

The true work of art is born from the artist: a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation.
♦ Wassily Kandinsky
Wassily Kandinsky, often heralded as the pioneer of abstract art, ventured into realms of creativity that were, at the time, uncharted territories. His groundbreaking perspectives were not just about shapes, colors, or techniques; they explored the very soul of the artist and the intangible essence of creativity. For Kandinsky, art was not a mere replication of the external world; it was a deep dive into the internal cosmos, a journey into the mysteries of the self.
Every artist knows that the creative process is multifaceted. It's not just about mastering the medium or technique, but about delving deep within, tapping into emotions, memories, and experiences that often lie dormant. When we create, we are not just translating a vision onto a canvas, but revealing a part of our essence, sharing a fragment of our soul with the world. This profound connection between the artist and their work is what Kandinsky highlights, reminding us that the value of art is not just in its aesthetic appeal but in the depths from which it emerges.
As we face the canvas, we're not merely working with pigments and brushes; we're engaging in a dialogue with our innermost selves. Our creations, thus, become a reflection of our dreams, fears, joys, and sorrows. Kandinsky's perspective challenges us to embrace this mysticism inherent in the artistic process, understanding that true art isn't just about what's visible, but more importantly, about the unseen emotions, thoughts, and energies that breathe life into it.
We believe in the power of words to inspire, and the magic of art to connect. Enjoy this meaningful quote with contextual background, and admire our unique rendition of Wassily Kandinsky to complement your imagination. Get busy on your next composition!
