Rev. Howard Finster is one of my favorites, because I actually knew him. He was an amazing man.......


You get around a lot. I know his art from the REM albums of the middle 1980s which were their best. REM were big Finster boosters.

Well, actually, I knew the Rev. because the art dealer that was his agent in Atlanta rented space from my mother . . . just a coincidence.

But in addition to being an artist of remarkable feeling (if primitive technique), he was a good old fashioned Christian and a very nice man.
