"Jack Bush is one of Canada's greatest contributors to the advancement of abstract art. He pushed the boundaries of expression and emotion, challenging the traditional idea that meaning can only be drawn from representational works of art. Clement Greenberg met Jack Bush in 1957, marking the beginning of a shift in the way Bush approached his work. Bush moved confidently into the 1960s with a fervour and passion to create bold colourful paintings with strong lines and unrelenting power. The shift that began in the late 1950s became a full evolution in 1960, when Bush committed to abstraction through a simplification of forms and a refined use of the hard edge. “Five Colour Prints” is a limited edition of 100, exemplifying the strongest period of his artistic career."- Marc Mayer and Sarah Stanners, “Jack Bush”, Ottawa, 2014, pages 20 and 21
