Caddo
One of a group of N. Amer. Indian peoples of the Caddoan linguistic family that originally occupied the lower Red River area in Louisiana and Arkansas. The Caddo occupied the land from ancient times, and many striking examples of prehistoric pottery and basketry have been found. They were a semisedentary agricultural people who lived in conical pole-and-thatch dwellings. In the 18th cent. pressures from white settlers pushed many Caddo off their lands, a process that intensified with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. By 1835 the Caddo had ceded all their land to the U.S., and by 1859 most were living on reservations in Oklahoma. Today they number about 3,000.
candy
Sweet sugar- or cacao-based confection. The Egyptians made candy from honey (combined with figs, dates, nuts, and spices), sugar being unknown. With the spread of sugarcane cultivation in the 15th cent., the industry began to grow. In the late 18th cent. the first candy manufacturing machinery was produced. The main ingredients are cane and beet sugars combined with other carbohydrate foods such as corn syrup, cornstarch, honey, molasses, and maple sugar. To the sweet base are added chocolate, fruits, nuts, peanuts, eggs, milk, flavors, and colors. Common varieties include hard candy (crystallized sugar), caramels and toffee, nougats, jellies, marshmallows, marzipan, truffles, cotton candy, licorice, and chewing gum.
Daddi
Italian painter. He became one of the leading painters in Florence after the death of his teacher, Giotto. He directed a busy workshop specializing in small devotional panels and portable altarpieces. His works include a triptych for the Church of Ognissanti (1328) and the polyptych Crucifixion with Eight Saints (1348). His style, a fusion of Giotto's seriousness and the lightness of Sienese art, featuring smiling Madonnas and abundant flowers and draperies, remained the dominant style of Florentine painting through the 14th cent.
Gaddi
Italian painter active in Florence. He was the son of a painter and mosaicist and a student of Giotto. His best-known works are frescoes in the church of Santa Croce in Florence. He directed a flourishing workshop for three decades, producing pictures in the style of Giotto but featuring more vivid picturesque effects with narrative detail. His son and pupil Agnolo (c.1350-1396) was an influential and prolific artist who likewise produced a notable series of frescoes for Santa Croce, The Legend of the True Cross (c.1388-93). Many extant panel paintings are also attributed to him. His concentration on design rather than expression and the decorative elegance of his cool, pale colors influenced the style of late Gothic art.
