Executed at the Chelsea Hotel in New York in October of 1962, this Jack Bush gouache on paper is a wonderful example of his simplified forms and expressive colour palette that carried on throughout the 1960s. The work is reminiscent of 'Red Stripes - New York' which was also painted in 1962 and included in his 1965 print portfolio 'Five Colour Prints'. “Around 1961-62, he suddenly becomes Jack Bush the painter: He's being honest with himself, and starts to do much more audacious compositions. And 1962 is when he has his first solo exhibition in New York City on Madison Avenue, and from that point on he really takes off.” – Dr. Sarah Stanners, Globe & Mail 2015
The work is included in Dr. Sarah Stanner’s Jack Bush Paintings: A Catalogue Raisonné.
