pair of watercolors each signed Hoyesva and dated in lower left and lower right of images respectively, canvas size 7.5 in. x 7.5 in. 1963 JOHN S. BOYDEN, Sr., J.D. (1906 -1890) As a boy, growing up in the small town of Coalville, Utah, Boyden developed an interest in American Indians. His home was located on the Shoshone Indian migration route, thus he had plenty of opportunities to watch the Indians first-hand. Occasionally, when digging in the soil, he found arrowheads. Someone, noting his insatiable curiosity, gave him a piece of black Indian pottery. This gift marked the beginning of his lifelong hobby of collecting American Indian artifacts. Boyden graduated from the University of Utah Law School and as Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Utah he served as advisor to several different American Indian tribes. Later, the Department of Justice asked him to study the judicial system of the Navajo Tribe. This project required that he live on that reservation for a number of weeks. During his legal career, he represented various tribes. He served as General Counsel and Claims Counsel for the Hopi Indian Tribe for thirty years. These varied experiences led him to appreciate American Indian culture and, as a consequence, he had many close American Indian friends. Boyden was elected as the first member from Utah to the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and given the Honorary Order of the Coif. Over the years he served as Chairman of the Utah Board of Indian Affairs and has held many other important public service positions. Throughout their lives Mr. and Mrs. Boyden remained keenly interested in American Indian art and assembled an impressive collection of rugs, pottery, katsinas, baskets, beaded items, and other artifacts. Provenance: Deaccessioned by the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, Utah State University; Collected by John S. Boyden, Sr. (1906-1980)
