Provenance:

Estate of the Artist

Literature:

Dennis Reid, “Jack Bush: The Development of a Canadian Painter”, Jack Bush, ed. Karen Wilkin (New York: Hudson Hills, 1984).

Exhibited:

New Paintings by Jack Bush, Gavin Henderson Gallery, Toronto, 1949, cat. no. 7.

Note:

This work was included in Jack Bush’s first solo exhibition in 1949 at the Gavin Henderson Gallery, Toronto. In her review of the exhibition for the Globe and Mail, Pearl McCarthy wrote, “While the new paintings tend toward the abstract, the canyons and mysterious figures will thrill even those usually afraid of the abstract.”

Rose MacDonald in the Toronto Telegram described it “as concerned with a mighty spiritual conflict, a sort of Jacob-wrestling-with-the-angel-mood.”

This work will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings currently being prepared by Dr. Sarah Stanners.
