BUSH Jack

Jack Bush is another example of the very blurred boundary between “graphic” or “illustration” art and “fine” art. He is now known as an abstract painter and a member of The Painters Eleven.

But, he was also  a partner in Wookey, Winter, Bush an advertising company and as can be seen below his illustrations appeared in Maclean’s magazine. Winter is another artist that worked in both fields.
