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. This proportion has been used in art and architecture for thousands of years, and countless examples can be found in nature, plant life, galaxies, and the human body. The Golden Mean can also be 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. The Golden Ratio can even produce some mathematically intriguing relationships that relate directly to art, architecture, science, and human intrigue. If you're looking for a challenge and inspiration, consider using a canvas in the proportion of the Golden Mean to create a composition that will come alive in the most intriguing ways!

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.

Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests

Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future. Increasing our number of trees is just as essential to our economy, as the harvest itself, which is why we select only timber harvested from responsibly managed forests.

There is no greater harm than that of time wasted. ♦ Michelangelo

Michelangelo, a name that resounds with majesty in the annals of art history, was not merely an artist but a powerhouse of creativity, relentless dedication, and vision. Among the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel and the robust form of David, one might forget that Michelangelo was also a philosopher in his own right, offering insights that bore the weight of lived experiences.

This sentiment about the gravity of wasted time reflects the urgency with which he approached his craft. In a world devoid of the technological conveniences we now enjoy, Michelangelo recognized that the true measure of one's life was the legacy left behind. Our time is twofold in value - it's both the canvas upon which we capture our visions and the brush we wield with such precision. Each moment is an opportunity, a potential stroke of genius waiting to be realized. As we chase our artistic aspirations, let's be reminded that the time we invest in our craft not only defines our work but also shapes the legacy we aim to leave. In heeding Michelangelo's wisdom, we commit to making every second count, ensuring that our art stands as a testament to a life well-lived and time well-spent.
