Excerpt from Our American Artists
Mr. Beard went to New York city after he had been painting for awhile, and took a few lessons from his brother James. He then settled in Buffalo for ten years, where he gained a solid local reputation. During that time he painted his picture of a cat with her kittens, the first work he had on the line in the exhibition of the National Academy. It is one of his best pictures. The old cat, which served as a model, was very restless, having no notion of sitting for her portrait, and Mrs. Beard had to hold her. While the artist sketched the outline or laid on the color. It was during his residence in Buffalo that Mr. Beard went to Italy, where he spent two years amid the inspiring influence of Italian art.
Two years after his return Mr. Beard settled in New York, where he has remained ever since, paint ing many works of merit and celebrity, and becoming a member of the National Academy, which entitles him to add N. A. To his name. Some years ago he took a long tour in the South and West, spending several months among the savage Indians of Colo rado, Without losing his scalp.
