Cyrus Dallin's statue Appeal To The Great Spirit stands outside the Museum's main entrance

Appeal to the Great Spirit is a sculpture by Cyrus Dallin. Dallin, a native of Utah, was raised in close proximity to Native American children. Appeal to the Great Spirit was the last of a four piece series called The Epic of the Indian. In 1909, the sculpture was cast in Paris and won a gold medal for its exhibition in the Paris Salon. There are two full size casts of the sculpture: one is located outside the main entrance to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the other is in Muncie, Indiana. A restoration of the Boston version was reversed at Dallin's request because he preferred the light green tones that had developed on the equestrian sculpture over time rather than the typical “statuary brown” patina the conservator applied prior to consulting him.

This sculpture by Cyrus Dallin was also used as the logo for the Beach Boys’ own record label Brother Records, and first seen on their 1967 release SMiLEY SMiLE. When Beach Boy Carl Wilson was asked why the group used this as there logo in 1975, he said the indian was chosen because Carl’s grandfather believed there was a spiritual Indian ‘guide’ who watched over Brian, Dennis and Carl from the “other side”. The choice of the logo was Brian’s. Carl called the logo, “The Last Horizon”.
