Monet™ Pro 1.5" Deep B2 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.

• Super strong B2™ Stretcher Bar upgrade is 50% stronger
• For this 14x24 large size frame, this upgrade adds more strength and stability
• Produces a 1.5" deep stretched canvas
• 2-1/4" wide Stretcher Bar
• All Bars have an exclusive groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to which cross braces and Diamond Corner Braces attach
• 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.

14x24 Super Heavy Frame Provides Maximum Support!

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• Precision Machined 1.5" wide by 2-1/4" keyable tongue-and-groove corners allow you to increase the canvas tension

MuseumWrap™ Stretching Technique

With more than a half a century of American engineering, Masterpiece® designs and builds its own proprietary stretching equipment that enables us to produce the finest and most tightly-stretched canvas on the market.

• Drum-tight stretch!
• Up to 50% tighter than other methods
• Balanced tension across the surface
• Uncut folded corners make it possible to remove and re-stretch canvas on the same size frame
• Usually the corner folds are on the long sides

Since 1965, our passion for perfection has driven us at Masterpiece® to construct professional quality canvases that artists around the nation desire. All too often, other brands are more focused on saving cost and delivering less than adequate quality. However, we find that our customers not only desire fine quality, but they also tell us that their art is better for having painted on the exquisite canvases that we produce.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. ♦ Plato

The ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, often explored the realms of form, ideas, and perception. At the heart of many of his dialogues was a quest for understanding the nature of beauty and truth. While deeply philosophical, this assertion of beauty's subjectivity has profound implications. Rather than offering a fixed definition, Plato's words give power to the observer, granting them the authority to define and recognize beauty in myriad forms.

This perspective liberates. It suggests that art isn't confined to a single interpretation or a universally accepted standard. Each piece we create holds the potential to connect, inspire, and evoke emotions in diverse ways, based on the viewer's personal experiences and perspectives. In understanding Plato's sentiment, we are reminded of the deeply personal relationship between the creator, the creation, and the observer. The magic of art is its ability to be ever-evolving, changing meaning and significance with each new pair of eyes that behold it.

Art is visual and ripe with meaning, so enjoy this quote and our interpretation of its meaning, plus an one-of-a-kind portrait we created of Plato to make it all the more relevant. Pick up that brush and go!
