Anne Cady’s art is visual poetry By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com NEW HAVEN Ñ New Haven artist Anne Cady is getting a lot of attention these days. Last week, the Vermont Historical Society chose CadyÕ s painting, titled Ò Thanks for HelpingÓ , as the signature artwork for the upcoming Vermont History Expo 2014. According to Julie Nelson of the society, Ò Using Anne CadyÕ s art to represent Vermont History Expo is especially fitting this year, given that the Expo theme is Ô Artists and Artisans: VermontÕ s Creative Heritage.Õ Ó CadyÕ s oil paintings are Anne Cady inspired by the Vermont countryside just outside the door of her New Haven horse farm. Ò Through my paintings,Ó Cady remarked, Ò I am able to journey back to that slower country rhythm of the past, away from this hurry-up world and into those open spaces that are so quickly disappearing. While on this ride I can be playful with the harmonious patterns of fields, forests and mountains that repeat themselves again and again within the landscape. With my imagination as my guide, I take what I see in this place and make it my own. I am not ruled by what is real. It is the bold and vibrant colors, packed with their emotionally charged energy, that lift me and move me in the direction that I need to go. I respond
to them as they do to each other and together we head off.Ó Why the Vermont Historical Society picked a Cady landscape to adorn itÕ s annual, popular all-things-history expo isnÕ t too difficult to understand. Ò Although Vermont landscapes are typically traditional with fairly monochromatic palettes using iconic barn reds and clapboard whites, AnneÕ s Vermont has vibrant color and her hills are wavelike and unending, yet still recognizable as our state,Ó Nelson said. According to the artistÕ s own account, her paintings are on view in galleries-and museumsÑ in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand and Europe. A 1970s Middlebury College alumna, CadyÕ s delicious art is a big part of her day-to-day life. SheÕ s a wife, a mother of four, and a grandmother of five. Her self-described small horse farm in New Haven is a bucolic place where both inspiration and renewal are always possible. According to Cady, Ò As a painter I make this journey alone but some days my brush is in anotherÕ s hand. Those are the good days where everything flows. At times the road can get rough and there are struggles, but this is my place here. Vermont keeps me painting.Ó Writer Elizabeth Duvivier, director of Squam Art Workshops, sees Cady as a visual poet: Ò If Anne werenÕ t an oil painter, she could surely be a poet. The titles of her work reflect thought and grace, and are often as intriguing as the painting itself.Ó The Vermont History ExpoÑ graced by CadyÕ s Ò Thanks for HelpingÓ Ñ will take place next year at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds, June 21-22. The event will feature over 150 local historical societies, museums, and heritage organizations, as well as musicians, authors, genealogists, crafters and other talented professionals. “The History Expo weekend is filled with parades, presentations, heritage animals, reenactments, performances, demonstrations, andÑ this yearÑ the art of Anne Cady,Ó Nelson noted. You can see more of CadyÕ s work at the Edgewater Gallery in Middlebury.
