Howard Finster ORIGINAL SIGNED painting On wood OX+SOULS 1993 Outsider Folk Art
This is a wonderful OX original painting / wood cut out by the legendary Southern Folk Art icon Revered Howard Finster. Rock n Roll preacher, designer and painter of Talking Heads Albums, prolific artist, cultural oddity and Southern legend Rev. Finster’s works are highly collectible and a vibrant part of American Folk Art history. Finster himself from his sculptural backyard dubbed “Paradise Garden” in the mid 1990s part of a larger Finster collection. This OX has his signature “lost soul” faces all over his body with names of people the Rev. Finster is praying for including Henry Ford, Hitler and himself! The Ox painting is mounted on a flat board which has a treatise on God and the creation of animals. On the back is his signature bird logo, and the lord’s prayer as well as the number of the piece and date. The principal colors are cream, olive green, black and rose colored spots on the ox /faces of the souls. This remarkable piece of folk art history has a lot of stories in it, as well as being a very cool looking art object. I love it a lot as it is part of a larger Finster collection of mine with prints, signed books and three other wood panels. I literally had to flip a coin to decide which piece I could bear to part with. Me sufres 11 inches high and 15 inches across. He is remembered for his album covers for the Talking Heads, anappearance on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, tons of press, a book about his work, collections of paintings, his presence in many private collections, a documentary by the Smithsonian, and curation in museums and galleries around the world. Finster was a Baptist minister and eccentric outsider/folk artist that stated God charged him to illustrate his religious visions in 1976 when while painting some bicycles for local kids, one of his signature “lost soul” faces appeared on his finger covered in white paint and”A warm feeling came over me to paint sacred art. His”sermons in paint” made him a folk art phenomenon. He also played banjo, sang, appeared in an REM video and never seemed to sleep. You can see videos of him in his garden, his interview on Carson that made him a pop culture star and a documentary on him all on youtube. Thanks for looking I hope it goes to a nice home.

Howard Finster Vintage Wipe Rag Outsider Folk Art Painting. An ultimate conversation piece- rare- one of a kind. Approximately 8 x 14. Signed by Howard Finster. Good condition for its age. Date: January 31,1989 10,084 since 1976. Howard Finsters wipe rag -I wipe my paint brushes. Sales of these rags support Paradise Gardens. This is a colorful, Rev. Howard Finster painting done on an original wipe rag, used by Rev. The painted rag is nailed onto an original wooden cabinet door. It is the actual cloth rag Rev. Finster used to wipe his fingers and his paint brushes, as he painted the many works of art that he created. As a result, the rag has many colors from the enamel tractor paint he used and many designs and shapes naturally built-in. Finster examined this rag until he saw images of faces and heads on the rag. He then used a black Sharpie marker to outline the visionary images that he saw. There are many interconnected heads and faces on this piece. The front of the piece features Finster’s hallmark cloud faces, with script. On the reverse is incribed, 10,000. 084 works since 1976 God bless you all. After which it is signed and dated by Finster. Provenance: In the late 1980’s I visit Howard at Paradise Gardens and photoed him and his environment. These wipe rag paintings are unique and hard to find, as Rev. A limited amount of rags that he used while painting. Orn into a lumberjack’s family of thirteen childr. Young Howard had his. First vision at the age of three. While looking for his mother in the family’s vegetable garden, he saw his dead sister wearing a white robe, descending from heaven. Howard once said: I get my inspiration from God. I’ve been having visions ever since I was a small kid. In the mid -1970’s, Howard saw a human face in his own fingerprint. The face spoke and told him to paint sacred art. Howard interpreted this as a sign from God that he should create works of art in order to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Abandoned his career as a preacher and, at the age of sixty-one and without any artistic training, began to paint toward his initial goal of 5,000 works of art. From then until his death, Howard Finster painted almost non-stop. He slept very little and painted detailed accounts of his visions and dreams. Howard claimed to have regular visions of God and Elvis. He supposedly once told a crowd at Ol Miss College. I turned around and looked up and saw Elviss face. Only thing I could think of to say to him. Was, Elvis, can you stay a while with me? Replied, Howard, you know that Im on a tight schedule’. Finster produced some 48,000 works. Howard Finster usually wrote on the back of each piece that he created, numbering each piece, with the date of the creation and often prophetic words by the legendary outsider artist. Some of words scrawled on the fronts and backs of his creations. Your soul is really all you own- Keep it! If a shoe fits, wear it! Angry is backed by Devils. Dont put your soul off. Give it a chance for Eternal life. Howard Finster passed away on October 22nd, 2001. I plan to list more Folk Art in the future. These works include log houses, water mills, squirrels, and other mages. Vintage paintings with his mud and spinach juice renderings are hard to come by. There also are more early Tollivers and a large number of strong Sybil Gibsons etheral dusty, muted pastel paintings on grocery bags. Some great abstract works by Willie White, and Roy Ferdinand urban ghetto memory paintings. A few pieces by Mary T Smith, and a number of Calvin Livingston’s African hammered tin cutouts. Many of his paintings hang prominently in New Orleans House of Blues.. New Orelanian Welmon Sharlhorne who is known for his brilliant detailed line drawings done during his long stint at Angola Prison. Also retablos and dramatic yarn shields as well as beaded masks made by the indigenous Huichol Indians of Mexicos remote Sierra Madre mountains. Other self-taught artists such as Mose Tolliver. The strength his work is his lack of self-consciousness as to what his art is or should be. It was his sheer impulse to create, and therein lies its power. Her clapboard and tin two-room shack was nestled in the middle of a cow pasture fenced in by barbed wire. Her porch was filled with strange sculptures. There were human, animal, and vessel forms of cracking clay embedded with mule and cow bones, teeth, fossil shells, glass, Spanish moss, and coffee grounds.

With 7 small angels around small trees. Predominate colors in blue, pink , and black. This folk art “cut out devotional” is numbered and is painted by Finster in in tractor enamel on plywood. The front of the piece features a Renaissance styled portrait of Jesus at 12. The portrait has black flowing hair and decorated with Finster’s miniature hallmark angels. On the front is inscribed. Youth of Jesus with Wisdom at Age 12. If you like of wisdom, ask God. He can show you the way. Howard Finster God Man of wisdom visions. On the reverse is signed and dated by Finster. “God Bless Jesus Saves”. Born into a lumberjack’s family of thirteen children, young Howard had his. First vision at the age of three. While looking for his mother in the. Family’s vegetable garden, he saw his dead sister wearing a white robe and. Howard believed that this was a sign from God that he would use art to spread the gospel Howard abandoned his career as a preacher and, at the age. Of sixty-one and without any artistic training, began to paint toward his. Initial goal of 5,000 works of art. Some 40,000 works of art later, he spread his vision across the country. Used tractor paint to paint details on earlier pieces. In later years, he preferred a felt tip marker, sometimes using an entire marker on one painting. He fil led the back with words, poems, and poignant religious sayings. In the 1980’s, I was lucky to have visited Howard several times at his Paradise Garden in Summerville, where he had created “Paradise Gardens”, the outdoor environment that he began in the early 1960s. Howard was extremely talkative and charismatic, with a generosity of spirit that drew people to him. He would chat nonstop to his visitors as he worked on a cutout piece of wood- obsessively painting. I photographed him many times. Here is a hand colored photo that took of his pink Cadillac. He was always so friendly. I remember one time when I visited, he gave me a big bowl of plums from his garden. Even as his health failed in the 1990s, Howard remained the folk-art icon as he is today.
