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 Stretched Canvas Frame.

• Stretcher Bar Profile produces a 7/8" deep stretched canvas
• 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
• Frames with a dimension of 16" and up have a groove machined in the center inside perimeter to which cross 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.

13x19 Vincent ProE Extra Heavy Frame Provides Maximum Support!

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• Precision machined medium duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
• A 1/2" thick super strong keyable brace (3.25" wide) provides maximum support for this 19 long frame - Brace may be removed in reinserted at any time
• An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of the 19 Stretcher Bars to which the Brace and the expansion wedges attach
• Patented keyable cross braces allow the frame to be tensioned in the middle of the canvas, where the tension needed the most
• To increase canvas tension: 1) remove any staples in the corners and those that retain the brace keys in the middle, 2) tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, 3) tighten and re-staple the canvas in the corners

Canvas Tension is in Your Control

In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.

Our Vincent™ Pro professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8", so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.

• Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
• Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
• True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension

Cross Braces Make it Tighter

A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.

When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.

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.

The flat sound of my wooden clogs on the cobblestones, deep, hollow and powerful, is the note I seek in my painting. ♦ Paul Gauguin

The evocative imagery of wooden clogs striking cobblestones is not just a sensory experience but a window into Paul Gauguin's pursuit of authenticity in his art. Gauguin, having distanced himself from the bustling art scene of Paris, sought solace in places untouched by the trappings of modernity, such as Tahiti. Yet, his longing for genuine experiences, those rooted deeply in life's everyday moments, was a constant in his career.

Such a statement speaks to the intrinsic nature of inspiration. Artists, while constantly exposed to grandeur and spectacle, often find a deeper connection in the mundane, the overlooked, and the transient. The sound of clogs on cobblestones represents a raw, unfiltered moment—a fleeting sensation that carries within it a story, an emotion, or a memory. It's a testament to the idea that sometimes the simplest experiences can evoke the most profound feelings. As artists, we are charged with the responsibility of translating these moments, sensations, and stories onto our canvas, giving voice to the silent whispers of life.

Looking at Gauguin's works, one can see his affinity for capturing the essence of his surroundings, be it the vibrancy of Polynesian life or the serenity of Brittany. In the end, it's the artist's keen sense of observation, coupled with their personal interpretations, that elevates a simple experience into a work of art. Just as Gauguin sought the deep, resonant note in his paintings, we too strive to find that perfect note in our creations, drawing from the vast symphony of life that surrounds us.
