Raw Mandalay™ Belgian Linen 11.6 oz Unprimed

Very heavy weight linen and very tightly woven. Take control of your art by preparing your own ground on Belgian Linen canvas. Use bare expanses of canvas as part of the painting or simply create the ground exactly ask you like.

• 100% Belgian Linen 11.6 oz. per square yard
• Very Heavy Weight, Tight Weave, Coarse Texture
• Raw fabric blocks 92% of the light, which indicates how tight is the weave
• Warp and Weft: 31x33 yarns per square inch
• Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.

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.

• Fixed Corner Frame - Not keyable or expandable
• No cross braces required when the frame length is under 16"
• Frame is very sturdy and provides a solid support for this 6x8 size frame

How can you expect a beholder to experience my picture as I experienced it? A picture can be appreciated only when it is no longer an object but a stimulus. ♦ Paul Gauguin

The enigmatic Paul Gauguin, whose life was interwoven with bold decisions and deep introspection, challenges our perception of art with this compelling statement. His exploration of diverse cultures, from the cafes of Paris to the serene shores of Tahiti, instilled in him an understanding that art isn't just a passive reflection but an active communicator of emotions and experiences.

When we, as artists, pour our heart and soul into our work, we encode it with our unique emotional experiences. Yet, Gauguin prompts us to embrace the fact that once our art reaches the viewer, it takes on a life of its own. It becomes a catalyst, sparking unique interpretations and eliciting emotions that might differ vastly from our initial intent. And it is in this spontaneous interaction, where art shifts from being a mere object to a dynamic force, that its true magic is unveiled. Our role is to create not with the expectation of mirrored reactions, but with the hope that our creations serve as stimuli, igniting myriad emotions, conversations, and inspirations in those who encounter them.
