9x9 Vincent Pro Raw No 12 Canvas 7/8 Inch Deep #VR-0909

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 9x9 Size

This 9x9 size an intriguing and atypical small size odd square.

The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

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.

Movement and rhythm are the essence of nature and art. ♦ Robert Delaunay

In the sweeping arcs of his Orphic Cubism and the vibrant interplay of hues in his abstract works, Delaunay's fascination with movement and rhythm became clear. For him, both were not just aesthetic choices but the very pulse of existence. Every brushstroke and choice of color was a testament to his understanding that the rhythm of life was an eternal dance of moments and emotions.

For many artists, it's this inherent rhythm that guides our hands, echoing the heartbeat of the universe in every creation. The ebb and flow of ideas, the oscillation between inspiration and contemplation, all mirror the rhythms we see in nature — from the gentle sway of tree branches to the relentless crash of ocean waves. Delaunay's insight serves as a reminder that by tapping into this primal rhythm, we can better connect with our audience, bridging the gap between the seen and the felt.
