  • JACK HAMILTON BUSH, O.S.A., A.R.C.A.
Provenance:

Private Collection, Nova Scotia (by descent through the family of the artist)

Literature:

Dennis Reid, “Jack Bush: The Development of a Canadian Painter,” Jack Bush, McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, 1984, page 12.

Note:

Raised in Montreal and trained in the commercial printing and design business there, Jack Bush moved to Toronto in 1929 and enrolled in evening classes held at the Ontario College of Art. The Toronto art world was heavily under the influence of the Group of Seven and the Group would have impacted Bush as it did almost all Canadian painters at that time. Reid writes that years later Bush recalled: “The Group of Seven, of course, were the top boys. I still can’t get over the habit we got into, which was to go out into the fields to make sketches...with little pads, just like A.Y. Jackson...”

Côte St. Rose is dated to 1934, the year Jack Bush married his childhood friend, Montrealer Mabel Teakle. The wedding took place in September.
