"I was born in a period when the parochial fences in Art were high, and we were ignorant and uniformed about the rest of the world. The desire for a National Art, to show the world how great Canadians were, never got off the ground. And I think it will take another half century to learn that that is not the way to get off the ground." J. Bush, quoted in T. Fenton, Jack Bush: A Retrospective, Musée des Beaux-Arts de l'Ontario, 1976.
