Title:	Along the Coast of Maine
Artist:	Adomeit, George (Memel, Germany, 1879 - Cleveland, Ohio, 1967)
Date:	c. 1930
Medium:	Original Watercolor
Note:	George Adomeit: A major American painter and printmaker of the first half of the twentieth century, George Adomeit moved to Cleveland from Germany at the age of four. For much of his life he worked as a commercial printer and lithographer. He co-founded one of America's largest printing establishments, the Caxton Company, and for many years served as its president. Yet these duties did not prohibit him from also pursuing a career in the arts. George Adomeit first studied at the Art Club of Cleveland, with Frederick Gottwald, Max Bohm and Ora Coltman, and later at the Cleveland School of Art, from which he graduated in 1911.
	George Adomeit's first one man exhibition was held at the Taylor Gallery in 1912. During the following years his paintings and drawings were regularly exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of Art (1919 to 1959), the Toledo Museum of Art (1928 to 1935), the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1925 to 1941), the Corcoran Gallery of Art (1928 to1937). as well as at major public museums in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and New York. George Adomeit was a founding member of the Cleveland Society of Artists, and a member of the Cleveland Print Club and the American Graphic Association.
	In his hometown of Cleveland, George Adomeit was also a member of the notorious 'Kokoon Club'. Founded in 1912 by William Sommer, Morris Grossman and others, the 'Kokoon Club' initially promoted the avant-guarde in art. When a younger generation of Cleveland artists, such as Jicha, Henry Keller and August Biehle joined several decades later, the club was most famous for its masked balls and bizarre costume dances. In 1923, in fact, the city of Cleveland banned the club for "drunkenness" and "immorality". It was, however, reinstated the following year with the mayor's request that the members wear decent clothing.
