"Scratchin' High" is a notable work by John Edward Borein (1872–1945), an American artist renowned for his depictions of the American West. Borein, who was a contemporary of Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington, is celebrated for his authentic and detailed illustrations, etchings, and paintings of cowboys, Native Americans, and the Western landscape. "Scratchin' High" exemplifies Borein's artistic focus on the daily life and culture of the American West, capturing the dynamic movement and raw energy of a cowboy riding a bucking horse.

The artwork's title, "Scratchin' High," refers to the rodeo term "scratching," which describes a cowboy's attempt to stay on a bucking horse by digging in with his spurs. This action is often seen in rodeo events and is emblematic of the cowboy's skill and bravery. Borein's ability to portray the tension and motion in such scenes contributed to his reputation as a master of Western genre art.

Born in San Leandro, California, Borein drew upon his experiences living and working in the West to inform his art. He traveled extensively, including spending time in Mexico, which further influenced his artistic style and subject matter. Borein's work was widely appreciated during his lifetime, and he was a member of the Cowboy Artists of America. Today, his pieces are held in high regard and can be found in private collections and museums across the United States, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and the Santa Barbara Historical Museum.

"Scratchin' High" is representative of Borein's dedication to authenticity and his skillful use of line and composition to convey the spirit of the American West. The artwork continues to be celebrated for its historical significance and artistic merit, offering insight into the life and environment of the Western frontier during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
