The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions. ♦ Paul Klee

Paul Klee, the Swiss-German painter, born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, in 1879, is known for his innovative and abstract art. He understood the intricate relationship between life and artistic expression and demonstrated profound insight into the human experience, which is articulately expressed in this quote.

His life was a testament to his belief in the interconnectedness of life and art. He explored a wide range of artistic styles, including Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism, during his prolific career. His works often featured whimsical, dreamlike imagery, and intricate geometric patterns. Klee's ability to master life's complexities allowed him to delve into various forms of artistic expression, pushing boundaries and redefining conventional art forms.

Life experiences, emotions, and personal growth all serve as the foundation for our creative endeavors. Just as Klee ventured into different artistic realms, we, too, draw inspiration from life's multifaceted nature. Our ability to master the intricacies of existence enriches our art, enabling us to create works that connect with our audience. Klee's wisdom reminds us that the canvas of life is vast and endlessly inspiring, providing us with the wellspring of creativity to explore and express ourselves through various artistic forms.

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

Stretching your own canvas is a great way to have complete command of the process from start to finish. Once your canvas is fully stretched, and if you notice any puckers or loosely tensioned areas, or perhaps even slight waves, you can always rely upon Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner to correct any inconsistencies in the canvas tension. You can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
