The major monograph on the extraordinary career of the Canadian painter available in a new softcover edition. Jack Bush (1909-1977) reinvented himself like very few artists.

With more than 120 full-color plates, this superb publication features works that boldly burst through as the best in high modern art. Marc Mayer is Director and CEO of the National Gallery of Canada. Sarah Stanners is currently directing and authoring the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of paintings by Jack Bush.
