A graduate of OCAD and a key member of the Painters Eleven collective, he was a rare Toronto-based artist who achieved an unrivalled level of success internationally after receiving acclaim by esteemed critic Clement Greenberg. Bush successfully evolved beyond Abstract Expressionism and became closely connected to both Color Field painting and Lyrical Abstraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of his Color Field contemporaries, Bush only realized a small number of prints during his lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Jeté en L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e’air\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e” was commissioned by the Women’s Committee of the National Gallery of Canada to raise money for the National Ballet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003es production of La Fille Mal Gardée.
