<p>[QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 3985374, member: 13308"]I purchased these 2 drawings at a neighborhood garage sale where I grew up, in Kalamazoo. I got them at a house 2 doors down from where I lived. The lady that owned them said her grandfather had a parish in Walton, New York. Apparently the wife of the artist was a parishioner and the church would buy pieces from them to support the family. It sounds like the artist may have had a drinking problem. I found a John Westcott in Davenports and Who Was Who in American Art, listed as a 20th century Brooklyn artist. It says he exhibited with the Society of Independent Artists in 1920, the source cited was Marlor. I suspect these 2 people are the same but I was trying to find a way to put them together. I searched through some of the gravesite websites looking for a burial location, I suspect the artist would have been born in the 1890's? Any help linking these people together would be appreciated.[ATTACH=full]324598[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]324599[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324600[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324601[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
