14x14 Vincent Pro Vintage L22U Canvas 7/8 Inch Deep #VU-1414

True 1:1 Square Proportion - 14x14 Size

The 14x14 square size is a little less common but gaining in popularity.

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.

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.

To have the respect of such men as these gives any man an untouchable armor against the world. ♦ Robert Henri

Robert Henri, a prominent figure of the Ashcan School, was more than familiar with the weight that validation carries in an artist's life. His words highlight the profound impact of recognition, especially when it comes from those we deeply admire. In the realms of art, where subjectivity reigns supreme and criticism is ever-present, the acknowledgment from peers or mentors can fortify an artist's confidence and serve as a beacon during tumultuous times.

For artists, the path is often filled with both acclaim and rebuke. But when those whom we hold in high esteem recognize our endeavors, it provides a shield, an affirmation that our direction, however unorthodox or challenging, is valid. This recognition, however, shouldn't solely be a source of pride; it should also inspire us. As artists, we have the responsibility to support and uplift others, to be the beacon for those coming up behind us. In doing so, we not only enrich our own experiences but also fortify the collective strength and resilience of our community.
