August Cook
I am writing an article on Spartanburg, South Carolina artist August Cook and want to know if anyone is aware of a painting by him titled either "The Block Party" or "The Street Party" and where this painting might be. I recall seeing this painting in a book an elderly neighbor had at one of our street parties (Mr. Cook had lived on our street), but have no access to the book.
