“Baby’s Angel” is an artwork created by Howard Finster in 1990, associated with the Art Brut movement and categorized under the figurative genre.
The artwork features a colorful and intricately designed figure of an angel, presumably representing a guardian or protector, with human-like features and extended wings filled with various text elements. The angel is adorned in a flowing green robe and possesses multi-colored wings that include inscriptions written in capital letters. These inscriptions appear to convey messages about children, life, and spirituality. The angel’s serene face and extended hand seem to invite viewers to engage with the profound messages scattered throughout the composition. The expressions and design elements demonstrate Finster’s distinctive style, known for its unrefined and raw portrayal of subjects, capturing the essence of Art Brut.
