John Edward Borein (1872 - 1945) was the oldest of five children of the deputy sheriff of San Leandro, a town along one of the California cattle trails. Shortly after Edward's birth, the family moved to nearby Oakland, a major center in the cattle industry. Borein's artistic inclinations became evident almost immediately; he was sketching at the tender age of five, before most children can write. The subjects available to him during his childhood--cowboys, Hispanic vaqueros, longhorn cattle, horses--determined his lifelong interests. Perhaps contrary to what one might expect in the rough environment of a cattle town, Borein was encouraged by his family to pursue art studies. His formal education at the San Francisco Art Association Art School, however, lasted just one month before he decided to give it up to become a cowboy.<p> Beginning in 1893, Borein worked ranches up and down the California coast. He became a proficient roper and rider, and seemed to have no regrets about choosing such a harsh life. He also developed skills in saddlemaking and lasso-braiding, which came as no surprise to those who were familiar with the breadth of his creative talents. He continued to sketch and found ample reinforcement in his itinerant new life for his childhood experiences with cowboy and ranch life subjects. Trips to Mexico provided him with still more variations on this theme and planted the seed for his interest in Hispanic subjects.<p>Image size plate line to plate line H 7 inches X ...
