Biographya talented and interesting painter, was born in Fillmore, Utah, and died there not quite thirty years later. At various times, he resided in Provo; Salt Lake City; Pairs, France; Ogden; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Fillmore again. Studies included Millard Academy, Fillmore (1890-1900); Brigham Young Academy, Provo (1901-03); bachelor's degree, University of Utah (1903-06), under Edwin Evans (q.v.); Julian Academy, Paris (1906-07); and the University of Utah Summer Archaeological Programs, New Mexico (1909, 1910), under Professor Byron Cummings. Here was an authentically powerful and sensuously creative painting talent within the ranks of the early-century Utah artists. Two years after the artist's death, a substantial collection of Beauregard oils, watercolors, and drawings were presented to the Museum of New Mexico. Former Salt Lake Art Center director James Haseltine wrote that, in its parts, the prematurely deceased Beauregard expression can show a "type of muscular art" that is at least "rare in Utah painting." And some of this, it would seem, had come from the work of his U of U mentor Edwin Evans. (b. August 7; d. May 2)
