seventeen artists who represented the USA in the Brussels World Fair in

were being exhibited from New York to San Francisco. In 1967 he received
the Artist Fellowship from Tamarind Lithographic Workshop in Los Angeles,
California. He also completed Time and Space murals for the Educational
Section, Dallas Museum of Art in 1984; which now hang at the Texas Tech
University. |

James Wesley Boynton has been recognized as a major contemporary
surrealist artist with overseas exhibitions of his art in London, Brussels
and Paris. Like Magritte, Boynton uses shape and form to both contradict
the senses and to disrupt our relationship to space and time. And, like
the greatest surrealist masters, his art is clearly thought provoking. Day
and Night Ribon is a splendid example of James Boynton's art, where he uses
both space and symbol to the highest level. |

He taught drawing and painting at the University of St Thomas,
Houston from 1969-1985; University of Houston from 1955-1957; San Francisco
Art Institute. 1960-1962 and been a visiting artist at Northwood Institute,
Dallas, 1968-1969; Anderson Ranch, Aspen Co; and the University of NM, Summer

major (JB) books/catalogs. James Boynton was known professionally as James until
the early 1970's when he started signing as Jack Boynton. |
