HOWARD FINSTER
Stranger from Another World: Man of Visions Now on This Earth.
New York: Abbeville Press, 1988. Inscribed to Ron Kolm.

Finster's strange, verbo-visual world and iconoclastic style have provided inspiration for downtown writers and artists alike. His combination of folk elements with a peculiarly urban sensibility, his appropriation of objects, and his odd juxtapositions of forms have the feel of downtown art.
