With the reverend Howard Finster at the New York Folk Arts Museum, New York City, September 1989, “The Road to Heaven is Paved by Good Works: The Art of Reverend Howard Finster. Photo: William Oppenheimer, courtesy Ginsberg Collection.
Outsider / naive Artist, and Baptist minister from Georgia, “He claimed to be inspired by God to spread the gospel through the design of his swampy land into Paradise Garden, a folk art sculpture garden with over 46,000 pieces of art.”
If you know nothing else about Finster, you probably his work from the cover of the Talking Heads 1985 album, Little Creatures.
