Well Known Stranger: Howard Finster's Workout

Well Known Stranger: Howard Finster's Workout is a film about legendary folk artist Howard Finster of Summerville, northwest Georgia. At the age of 60, after forty years as a Baptist preacher and ""small motor repairman"", Finster heeded the call to ""paint sacred art"". In a tour-de-force of self styled ""talking art"", Finster describes the prophetic dreams, spiritual inspirations and visionary experiences that led him to become a painter. His work was selected in 1984 to represent the United States in the prestigious Venice Biennale
