| book description |

This is a superbly illustrated career overview of the extraordinary career of Jack Bush. This major monograph explores the extraordinary career of painter Jack Bush (1909-1977). Bush was able to reinvent himself like very few artists - moving from a close association with the Canadian 'Group of Seven' to an even closer association with the great names of international modernist abstraction. Four experts in their fields outline Bush's trajectory from his early Canadian years, to his British experience with Waddington's who represented him and sculptor Anthony Caro who befriended him, to his career-changing meeting with art critic Clement Greenberg. Bush's enduring professional relationship with Greenberg, the art world's most prominent intellectual, would ignite his international career and place him alongside Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski and Frank Stella as one of the great Colour Field artists. Jack Bush's transformation from provincial artist in the 1940s to celebrated figure on the New York and London gallery scenes in the 1960s and 70s is engagingly told through new photography, previously unpublished diary excerpts and fresh scholarship making this unprecedented survey of his life and work the definitive book on the artist to date. With more than 120 full-colour plates, this superb publication features works that boldly burst through as the best in high modern art.
