Howard Finster, Stranger from Another World: Man of Visions Now on This Earth

A backwoods Baptist preacher inspired by the Gospel, visitations from the dead, and visions of extraterrestrial life, the Reverend Howard Finster is an unlikely candidate for art celebrity. But in this collection of 150 of the artist's paintings, fans can make the pilgrimage to Finster's Paradise Garden in Pennville, Georgia. 120 illustrations in full color.
