Artist William Holbrook Beard ~ Wildlife, Bears ~ The Bear Dance

William Holbrook Beard began his career as portrait painter. In 1856, he traveled to Italy, Germany, and Switzerland with fellow artists Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Worthington Whittredge. In 1858, Beard briefly settled in Buffalo, New York, helping to establish an art community that eventually culminated in the establishment of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy in 1862.

In 1859, Beard moved to New York City and opened a studio in the renowned Tenth Street Studio Building, specially built in 1857 to house artists. At that time, Edwin Church, William Merrit Chase, Albert Bierstadt, and Winslow Homer were fellow resident artists. Beard exhibited extensively in New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, Montreal, San Francisco, and Boston, but he reserved his best work for exhibition at the National Design Academy in New York City.
