Specialist note

To be included in the forthcoming Jack Bush catalogue raisonné of paintings under the direction of Dr. Sarah Stanners.

"Jack Bush was not a pioneer, but he was an exemplar. His marriage of the stripe and the monochrome is more than just clever design, it manages to both acknowledge and avoid painting's inevitable last move" (M. Mayer, Jack Bush: A Double Life, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, 2014, p. 26).
