Vincent™ Pro 7/8" Deep Bar • 5/16" Canvas Clearance

5/16" 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 7/8" deep stretched canvas
• 1.5" 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.

One should not only paint what one sees; one should also paint what one sees when one closes one's eyes. ♦ Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas, a masterful artist of the 19th century, was an integral figure of the Impressionist movement, although he often detached himself from the label. Known for his ballet scenes and portraits, Degas demonstrated a keen eye for capturing fleeting moments and the intricate dynamics of human anatomy. However, his perspective on art was not merely rooted in the external world. Degas believed that the artist's inner vision—the images, emotions, and dreams that emerge in the mind's eye—held equal, if not greater, importance.

For many, the act of creation extends beyond the replication of reality. It involves exploring the depths of the subconscious, where memories merge with imagination. Degas's statement challenges us to tap into these hidden reservoirs of creativity. It's a realm where logic gives way to emotion, and where the boundaries of reality blur into abstract thought. By combining the tangible with the intangible, artists offer a holistic representation of their experience. This interplay between the seen and the unseen, the real and the imagined, provides depth to our work, allowing us to create pieces that evoke emotion and ignite the imagination of our audience.
