1. Howard Finster
Folk Artist

2. Howard Finster was perhaps the best known self-taught folk artist of the modern era. Howard saw himself as a visitor from another
planet, a modern Noah (from the bible) before the flood, sent here to spread the word of the Lord. He feels that God spoke directly to him through his visions, which inspired his paintings.
