Product Description
In the artful and outrageous garden of the 80-year-old Reverend Howard Finster, a plot of Georgia swampland has become a postmodern Eden bursting with vibrant, eclectic artwork of this internationally renowned folk artist. Created with found objects such as glass, discarded tools, machine parts, even bicycles and cars, the Reverend's garden spreads a gospel of fervor and morality, humor and humility, color and life. 73 photos, 55 in color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paradise in a different sense, April 25, 2000
By A Customer
Fans of the odd and eccentric will find Howard Finster's Paradise Garden fascinating and entertaining. The quality and selection of photographs of the garden is fantastic, and Finster's statments regarding the vision behind his creation are intriguing. This book is definitely worth examining for its unusual scope and content.
