Literature:
Dennis Reid, “Jack Bush: The Development of a Canadian Painter,” Jack Bush, McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, 1984.
Note:
In his chapter on Jack Bush’s development Dennis Reid writes, “As the 30s progressed, there is some evidence in his oil sketches and small canvases that Bush was working to extract more force from his colour while at the same time defining form with greater clarity.” This lot suggests the start of a progression that would flow into Bush’s abstract work of the 1950s and beyond.
