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.

The dream of reason produces monsters. ♦ Francisco de Goya

Perhaps one of Goya's most iconic statements, this quote accompanies his etching 'El sue–o de la razón produce monstruos.' This artwork depicts a man, presumably Goya, asleep amid a swarm of menacing creatures. At a broader level, this piece and the accompanying quote reflect Goya's anxieties about the Age of Enlightenment in Spain, a period characterized by a strong emphasis on reason and logic, sometimes at the expense of emotion and humanity.

While Goya was not opposed to reason, he cautioned against its unbridled dominance. He believed that pure rationality, devoid of emotion, empathy, and intuition, could lead to unintended negative outcomes. This sentiment is particularly relevant for artists, as Goya emphasizes the importance of balancing intellect with emotion, suggesting that true artistic brilliance emerges when both are in harmony.
