INVESTMENT BRONZE ART SPORTS COLLECTION – JOHN W. MILLS
” One of my favourite subjects to try to resolve as the sculpture is that of springboard and high board diving. The problems posed by this subject are expressing movement and grace, athleticism and style, and trying to convey the sensation of flight.” – John W. Mills.
