Cleveland painter Clara Deike (1881-1964) taught art in the Cleveland public schools. During the summer, she painted incessantly, traveling to Gloucester, Woodstock, and Provincetown and studying with Hans Hoffman and Diego Rivera.

She taught Langston Hughes at Central High School, and he credits her in his autobiography as a major influence on his creativity.
