The Banner

Jack Bush, a Canadian abstract artists, designed Vanier's banner in 1971. Acrylic on canvas, the forms in this banner, which measures 101 cm x 80 cm - like most of those in his later paintings - are abstract. Bush originally studied at the Ontario College of Art in the late 1920s and had a number of solo shows throughout North America, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Nicholas Wilder Gallery in Los Angeles. He died in Toronto at the age of 68 in 1977.
