Description
In honor of his 100th birthday, the Taubman Museum of Art presents the exhibition, Happy Birthday, Howard! The Amazing World of the Reverend Howard Finster. A self-proclaimed “Man of Visions,” Finster was one of America’s most widely known and prolific self-taught artists, producing over 46,000 pieces of art before his death in 2001. Finster saw himself as a sacred artist, tirelessly recording his visionary prophecies and providing glimpses of a celestial outer space world that God revealed to him. These visionary journeys provided a limitless variety of images for his creative endeavors. Culled from the Museum’s collection along with several loans, the exhibition highlights Finster’s achievements as America’s most well known folk artist.
