Description:
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. Pen and ink drawing.
