A work from the “Homage to Jack Bush” portfolio published by Merriot Editions Ltd., Toronto, 1984. Jack Bush was such an influential artist in Canada that an exhibition entitled "Heritage of Jack Bush - A Tribute" was developed and toured in his honour after his passing. Fourteen artists were carefully selected to represent the strength and diversity of his creative reach. Dan Christensen, Joseph Drapell, K.M. Graham, Darryl Hughto, and William Perehudoff were among the artists considered to be Jack Bush's “artistic heirs.” The exhibition was held at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa from July 28-August 28, 1981, and then circulated throughout Ontario and Quebec well into 1983.
