Captured Horizons - An Artist's Journey (Hardcover)

Photographer, artist, promoter and gallery owner, Michael Judge has led a whirlwind life. He has had two near-death experiences, sold millions of dollars worth of art, and created memorable visual images. In the course of his travels, he has rubbed shoulders with movie stars, U.S. presidents, mafiosi, wealthy globetrotters, world-renowned artists, art forgers, truckers, cowboys and waitresses in Europe and America. In "Captured Horizons" Judge writes about his many loves and adventures with unmitigated verve, much as he has lived his life. Whether he is describing his often stormy relationships with women, reminiscing about working with mobsters in Miami, or exposing the process by which new 'genius' artists are created, he tells it all with refreshing honesty. What emerges is the journey of a complex artist who is never afraid of reinventing himself. Works from Judge's extensive portfolio are interspersed throughout the book, including the spiritually inspired 'Light Paintings' and the 'America' series -- the result of criss-crossing the back roads of the United States over 30 times. In "Captured Horizons" words and images create a journey which not only captures, but expands our own horizons.
