VERNON H. COLEMAN
SEASCAPES, SHIPS & SCENERY
October 18, 2008 – January 11, 2009
Vernon Herbert Coleman (1898 – 1978), a noted Cape Cod artist and art educator, was born in Norwich, CT where he grew up enjoying puppet shows that sparked his love of theatre. Especially fascinated with theatre scenery, he eventually designed theatre sets, which led to his lifelong interest in art. As a child, he wrote short plays , and attending theatre whenever possible as he grew older.
“Van” studied with M. Messer and Burtis Baker at the Corcoran Gallery School of Art in Washington, D.C., and Will Chandlee at the Washington School of Art. After attending Corcoran, he enrolled in the National Radio School to become a licensed marine radio telegrapher, believing that he needed a career other than art in order to make a living.
Coleman, in 1921, worked in theatres in New York City. He married Ruby E. Lepper, with whom he had a son, Vernon Ellsworth Coleman, born in 1926. From 1921 to 1927, Coleman worked as a freelance artist.
Relocating to Cape Cod with his family in 1921, he became a founding member of the Cape Cod Art Club (now Cape Cod Art Association), set up a studio in Yarmouth Port where he instructed in addition to the Cape Cod Educational Foundation. He was director of CCAA for several years. In 1927, he became assistant Stage Manager for the opening season of the Cape Playhouse in Dennis.
During the Depression, he created over 100 murals under the Works Progress Administration, a Federal government institution to assist people who needed income as part of the New Deal. Some of these murals still exist in public buildings throughout the town of Barnstable today – a reminder of a time in our country’s history when dreams were not allowed to be destroyed by economic disaster. Produced under the WPA program, one of his more famous oil paintings, of the famed Clipper ship, The Red Jacket, hangs as a centerpiece in the lobby of the Barnstable Town Hall. His contributions to the WPA program were recognized through the inclusion of one of his paintings in an exhibition organized by the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA honoring Massachusetts WPA artists.
In 1935, Coleman exhibited at the New York Society of Arts and Science, and was awarded a prize in 1936. From 1937 – 1939, Coleman was scenic designer and technical director for the Mary Young Theatre in Centerville, MA.
From 1944 to his retirement in the mid-1960s, he worked as a supervisor and teacher in the Barnstable School System; over a 22-year period, he taught art to hundreds of students for which he is fondly remembered. After retiring, he taught adult education and private classes. While living on Cape Cod, he also continued designing sets for the Barnstable Comedy Club, The Little Theatre in South Yarmouth, and the Mary Young Theatre.
Coleman – an educator, painter, designer, illustrator, cartoonist and commercial artist – is mainly recognized for his marine scenes which are highlighted in this exhibition. His works are displayed in the Barnstable Town Hall, Cape Cod Hospital, the Barnstable Public Schools, the recreation building in Centerville, the Copley Theatre in Boston and many other public buildings, restaurants and homes throughout the country.
Throughout his life, Coleman did not actively promote himself as an artist; while he did sell his work, he also gave away many paintings during his long career. He seemed most satisfied with the creation of fine art.

Picturing New England Wildlife: Illustrations by Harrison Cady from the collections of the Thornton W. Burgess Society, through Nov. 30. "One by one the others joined him, another night of labor had begun."
-from Tommy and the Wishing Stone
Harrison Cady, illustrator, etcher, painter and writer, was born in 1877 in Gardner, MA. From 1911 to 1960, he collaborated with Thorton W. Burgess, illustrating the author’s children’s books and nature stories. Cady is well-known for his depictions of Burgess’ characters including Peter Rabbit, Reddy Fox, Jimmy Skunk, Grandfather Frog, and Buster Bear. On his own, Cady penned Caleb Cottontail and Animal Alphabet and other children’s stories.
Both Cady and Burgess grew up in New England, watching as farms gave way to urbanization. Hoping to expose children to nature, Cady and Burgess imbued their work with zoological and botanical detail. Cady also humanized his illustrations, drawing characters in coats and hats, or carrying canes and umbrellas, to appeal to their youthful audience. Cady was also fond of sketching nature scenes in Rockport, MA, where he often spent summers, enjoying the rural feeling of the seaside town. Cady also traveled throughout Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia in search of picturesque scenery.
Cady contributed to national magazines such as Life, Good Housekeeping, Saturday Evening Post, St. Nicholas, and Ladies Home Journal. However he is most fondly remembered for his contributions to childhood favorites such as Old Mother West Wind and The Adventures of Peter Cottontail.
Cady’s work was featured at the New York World’s Fair in 1939, and he exhibited landscapes at the National Academy of Design in New York in 1944, 1945, and 1946.
Cady’s love of nature is evident in his illustrations currently exhibited at CCMA. In 1970, Cady died at age 93 in Rockport, ME. He is remembered not only for his beloved collection of stories with Thorton W. Burgess, but also for his immense devotion to the exploration and preservation of nature. 508-385-4477

VERNON H. COLEMAN
SEASCAPES, SHIPS & SCENERY
October 18, 2008 – January 11, 2009
Vernon Herbert Coleman (1898 – 1978), a noted Cape Cod artist and art educator, was born in Norwich, CT where he grew up enjoying puppet shows that sparked his love of theatre. Especially fascinated with theatre scenery, he eventually designed theatre sets, which led to his lifelong interest in art. As a child, he wrote short plays , and attending theatre whenever possible as he grew older.
“Van” studied with M. Messer and Burtis Baker at the Corcoran Gallery School of Art in Washington, D.C., and Will Chandlee at the Washington School of Art. After attending Corcoran, he enrolled in the National Radio School to become a licensed marine radio telegrapher, believing that he needed a career other than art in order to make a living.
Coleman, in 1921, worked in theatres in New York City. He married Ruby E. Lepper, with whom he had a son, Vernon Ellsworth Coleman, born in 1926. From 1921 to 1927, Coleman worked as a freelance artist.
Relocating to Cape Cod with his family in 1921, he became a founding member of the Cape Cod Art Club (now Cape Cod Art Association), set up a studio in Yarmouth Port where he instructed in addition to the Cape Cod Educational Foundation. He was director of CCAA for several years. In 1927, he became assistant Stage Manager for the opening season of the Cape Playhouse in Dennis.
During the Depression, he created over 100 murals under the Works Progress Administration, a Federal government institution to assist people who needed income as part of the New Deal. Some of these murals still exist in public buildings throughout the town of Barnstable today – a reminder of a time in our country’s history when dreams were not allowed to be destroyed by economic disaster. Produced under the WPA program, one of his more famous oil paintings, of the famed Clipper ship, The Red Jacket, hangs as a centerpiece in the lobby of the Barnstable Town Hall. His contributions to the WPA program were recognized through the inclusion of one of his paintings in an exhibition organized by the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA honoring Massachusetts WPA artists.
In 1935, Coleman exhibited at the New York Society of Arts and Science, and was awarded a prize in 1936. From 1937 – 1939, Coleman was scenic designer and technical director for the Mary Young Theatre in Centerville, MA.
From 1944 to his retirement in the mid-1960s, he worked as a supervisor and teacher in the Barnstable School System; over a 22-year period, he taught art to hundreds of students for which he is fondly remembered. After retiring, he taught adult education and private classes. While living on Cape Cod, he also continued designing sets for the Barnstable Comedy Club, The Little Theatre in South Yarmouth, and the Mary Young Theatre.
Coleman – an educator, painter, designer, illustrator, cartoonist and commercial artist – is mainly recognized for his marine scenes which are highlighted in this exhibition. His works are displayed in the Barnstable Town Hall, Cape Cod Hospital, the Barnstable Public Schools, the recreation building in Centerville, the Copley Theatre in Boston and many other public buildings, restaurants and homes throughout the country.
Throughout his life, Coleman did not actively promote himself as an artist; while he did sell his work, he also gave away many paintings during his long career. He seemed most satisfied with the creation of fine art.
