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.

I remember Rev Finster having his backyard full of his sculptures and other art. Exposed to the elements. Pretty genuine behavior for a folk artist.

His back yard, his front yard, the side yards and basically the entire hill behind his house.
He lived up in Summerville, GA, in the NW corner of the state.

I don't know nearly as much about art as you but I think Howard Finster helped trigger a new interest in folk art from the South. Lots of black and white folk artists got recognition. Some got ripped off by their agents but at least their art reached a greater audience. Even jaded New Yorkers were buyers.

It goes in cycles. Periodically the NY cognoscenti "discover" the folk artists. They are a fixture in the South, and I think at least they used to be in New England and Pennsylvania.
Grandma Moses was the first.
