Judson Huss was born in Durham, North Carolina in 1942. He later studied at various art and design schools, before he grew dissatisfied with the 'modernist' direction of his instruction and traveled to Europe. It was there that he discovered the Old Masters and later, the contemporary fantastic artists, such as Ernst Fuchs and the French Visionaries. It was this visual epipheny that propelled Huss in the fantastique direction he continues pursue. This artist evolved into a virtuoso of masterful abilites and vibrant imaginationings. As filmmaker Terry Gilliam remarked, "Judson Huss is a new Old Master." Judson Huss died July 25th, 2008, in Paris, France.
