Understanding Canvas
So, what is actually meant by Canvas?
Canvas is a strong woven fabric that is traditionally used by artists as support (surface to paint).
Explanation of Canvas
Usually made of linen thread or cotton, but also produced from man -made materials such as polyester.
Canvas shaped
The shaped canvas is a canvas that is not a traditional rectangular shape. Although there are many examples of irregular canvas throughout the history of art, this term obtained a currency in the 1960s and tends to be associated with the type of geometric abstract painting that became famous in the late 1960s. Artists like Frank Stella use irregular canvas edges to determine the shape of the painting. Ellsworth Kelly and Jeremy Moon also especially experiment with shaped canvas.
The form of canvas also raises questions about the painting as an object with their own rights, not as something representative or illustrated from something else. In this sense, canvas paintings are sometimes described as statues.
Moreover, as we have seen above, this term is one of a collection of dictionaries, acronyms, terms, jargon, or terminology in the field of arts that begins with an alphabet or prefix C, as well as terms associated with C.
