"Weaned Child on the Cockatrice's Den ca. 1979" by Howard Finster
GEORGIA---Atlanta's High Museum owns the largest public collection of objects from Paradise Garden, an outdoor installation Reverend Howard Finster. In the early 1960s, Finster bought a parcel of swampy land, which he cleared and drained by hand. Beside the walkways, he modeled figurative concrete sculptures; over the years, he built many structures, including a tall tower of bicycle parts and a chapel, the World's Folk Art Church. Finster's Paradise Garden was built to celebrate all the inventions of mankind, but dedicated to the glory of God.
