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
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.

The poet's function is to describe, not the thing that has happened, but a kind of thing that might happen.
♦ Aristotle
Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, often turned his analytical gaze towards understanding the myriad facets of human creativity. While renowned for his explorations in fields such as ethics, metaphysics, and politics, he also possessed a profound understanding of the arts. This perspective on the role of the poet gives a glimpse into his nuanced grasp of artistic expression.
The canvas isn't just a space to replicate reality but a realm to imagine possibilities. The art we create isn't constrained by the chains of the past or the present, but is free to dance in the realm of potential futures. Like the poet described by Aristotle, we are gifted with the ability to visualize and depict not only what exists before us but the myriad of what could be. Through our strokes and shades, we invite the world to glimpse into myriad possibilities, reminding us that in art, as in life, potential is boundless.
We've curated this inspirational quote and our take on the message, plus a unique portrait we created of Aristotle, celebrating the timeless ever-evolving act of creation. Go create your own masterpiece!
