Jack Bush Art

Canadian, 1909-1977

Jack Bush is Canada's most successful abstract artist of the 20th century.

Bush was a graduate of OCAD (Ontario College of Art & Design) and a key member of Painters Eleven. Unlike his contemporaries, he would achieve an unrivaled level of success in New York and beyond after being praised and guided by esteemed critic Clement Greenberg. As a result of their interactions, Bush would become friendly with several of the artists affiliated with the Color-Field movement including Jules Olitski and Kenneth Noland.

While many of his contemporaries explored the creative possibilities of printmaking, Bush only realized a small number of prints during his lifetime. His work Yellow Mark, dating from 1971, is evocative of Bush's style from the early 1970s. Several similar works from this era were on display in 2016–17 at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection as part of the exhibit "Jack Bush: In the Studio."

"Immature Artist" by Matthew Brannon (Cheese, Food, Text, Funny, Gourmet)
By Matthew Brannon
Located in New York, NY
This signed and numbered limited edition print was commissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in 2012. This impression has never been framed and is in excellent condition. Note: Framed image is for reference purposes only. Artist's Statement: "When I was asked to make a print to benefit Lincoln Center I was both honored and intimidated. I was reminded of my moving to New York City in 1997. My student loans had yet to kick in and I was so broke that I really couldn’t afford much of a night on the town. So instead, as an alternative, I’d meet friends outside of Lincoln Center. There we’d spend a few hours socializing and drinking alongside the lights, on marble steps and by the fountain. I always remember that time. "When I begin to make a work of art I begin with the concept. I play word games and I try to loosen up my associations and assumptions. I make visual and verbal connections. Sometimes these are very personal and frustratingly obscure and sometimes more public. In this case I got stuck on cheese. Why cheese? I remember noticing when I moved to New York that people in New York (at least in the art world) loved cheese. Whatever the event or occasion there it was. And someone was always explaining what he or she liked about this or that particular cheese. I’m a natural mimic and so I paid attention, it comes from moving around a lot. From being the 'new kid.' So I kept mental notes on what was 'good' and more importantly what was 'bad.' You can tell a lot about a person by their opinions on cheese. (The truth is I’m not a huge fan of cheese. I believe I have a lactose intolerance.) So all this is to say in my mind it’s forever linked with connoisseurship and culture. I know these days things have changed. But much of my art concerns itself with outdated notions of 'fancy.' The status symbols of the past I knew when it felt like it mattered. I’m aware that my insecurities are what drove me forward. But that’s one way to learn. You could say the print is of artisanal cheeses—aspirational cheeses. "And then there’s the fun part—adding the text. Which is like my last word on the my artwork; the punch line—the commentary—the poetry. I had a number of ideas but I went with this one—Immature, Artist. Because artists take time. And some of us need reminding." -Matthew Brannon, December 1, 2012 Permanent Collections: Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, Rennie Collection, Vancouver, Canada, Ringler Collection, Zurich, Switzerland, Rubell Family Collection, Miami, FL, MADRE Museum, Naples, Italy, The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Arts, Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Rollins College...

Cross Over (Totems)

Jack Bush (1909-1977) is Canada's most successful abstract artist of the 20th century. Bush was a graduate of OCAD (Ontario College of Art & Design) and a key member of Painters Eleven. Bush was one of the very few Canadian, Toronto-based artists who achieved an international reputation. Bush had an unrivalled level of success in New York and beyond after being praised and guided by esteemed critic Clement Greenberg. Bush was able to evolve beyond Painters Eleven and became linked to both Color Field painting and Lyrical Abstraction (which emerged and thrived in America). As a result Bush was associated with artists such as Jules Olitski and Kenneth Noland. Unlike some of his color-field contemporaries, Bush only realized a small number of prints during his lifetime.
