About this book

Paradise Garden: A Trip Through Howard Finster's Visionary World by Peacock, Robert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780811809412.

A truly remarkable pictorial homage to Howard Finsters spiritual and artistic "garden" outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Finster has been busy for the last 25 years creating a kind of mystical Disney World populated by "found" sculpture, paintings, and writings. It would be easy to dismiss Finster as a "kook," but the contributing photographers ably capture for posterity the mans work with a loving detail that conveys the powerful urgency of his art. The color photographs are accompanied by Finsters own descriptions of how he created the garden, and commentary by fans such as David Byrne. Lacks an index.
