7x11 3D Pro Sierra Canvas 3-1/2" #TE-0711

True Golden Mean Proportion - 7x11 Size

This 7x11 size is one of our Golden Mean sizes, considered the most pleasing shape to the eye!

The Golden Ratio, also known as the Golden Mean or Divine Proportion, is considered the most aesthetically pleasing proportion to the human eye. Used in art and architecture for thousands of years, countless examples can be found in nature, plant life, galaxies, and the human body. It is often used as a guide to arrange your subjects on the canvas in concert with other Golden Mean shapes like an ellipse, star, triangle, and spiral, resulting in intriguing compositions. Many famous artists, such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Mondrian, Botticelli, Dali, and Seurat, have used this proportion in their art, and many contemporary artists continue to use it exclusively. If you're looking for a challenge or some inspiration, consider using a canvas in the proportion of the Golden Mean to create compositions that come alive in the most intriguing and eye-catching ways!

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.

Art is about emotion; if art needs to be explained it is no longer art. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a luminary of the Impressionist movement, believed in the power of art to evoke feelings, memories, and experiences. To him, the true essence of a work wasn't in the intricate details or the techniques used, but in its ability to touch the soul of its beholder. His own paintings, characterized by their vibrant light and saturated color, are testament to this belief. Often depicting scenes of leisure and effervescent joy, they immediately pull the viewer into the moment, without necessitating long-winded explanations.

This perspective serves as a reminder of the very essence of our craft. We strive to communicate, to tell stories, and to connect with others through our work. When a piece resonates with an observer, when it stirs an emotion or evokes a memory, it attains its purpose. There's an undeniable magic in the unspoken, in the feelings that bubble up when confronted with a piece that truly speaks to us. We, in our roles as creators, have the unique privilege of tapping into this universal language of emotions, transcending barriers and crafting legacies that speak for themselves.
