Howard Finster was a folk artist from Georgia known for which work?

• A. Starry Night
• B. Guernica
• C. Paradise Gardens
• D. The Great Wave

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is matching an artist to the work they are best known for. Howard Finster, a self-taught folk artist from Georgia, is famous for creating Paradise Gardens—the expansive outdoor art environment and collection he built in Summerville, Georgia. He transformed his property into a living gallery filled with painted signs, sculptures, and religious imagery made from found materials, making Paradise Gardens his most recognizable and influential creation. The other titles belong to artists from different traditions—Starry Night is Vincent van Gogh’s iconic work, Guernica is Pablo Picasso’s powerful anti-war painting, and The Great Wave is a famous print by Hokusai—so Paradise Gardens is the correct association with Finster.
