Dinosaur, 1990. Howard Finste, American (1916-2001). Wood, nails, paper and felt marker. Gift of the Alice Yelen and Kurt Gitter Collection 1991.1218.1 (internet photo)"These artists have various motivations and inspirations," says Ron Platt, Hugh Kaul Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Birmingham Museum of Art, who organized the current installation in the gallery. "They are driven by religious beliefs, the desire to chronicle family history or daily observations, or the impulse to bring forth imagery suggested to them in natural forms or objects. All of their works demonstrate how creativity and artistic talent has no set path and knows no bounds."
