Richard L Minns

RICHARD MINNS: THE ARTIST … … AND THE MAN “Richard Minns was born to be a sculptor. He has created his own sculptural language: realistic and physical, with anatomical perfection, highly charged with emotion and movement, conveying sexuality in the way of Michelangelo, Rodin and Bourdelle.”

Leon Bronstein The Artist: Art came easily and quickly to Richard. He could always draw. At one time he considered becoming a political cartoonist, but after training in painting and sculpture at the Hampstead Academy in London and then at Avni Art Institute in Israel, he knew that sculpture was his calling. He enrolled in the Basis School of Sculpture in Israel, completed the 5 year course in two years, and opened his own studio in Hadassah Neurim, overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean Ocean.

Like the Old Masters, Richard has a deep interest in Classical and Biblical Mythology. Like the Old Masters, Richard has made a life study of human anatomy. Combining these interests with his considerable artistic talents, plus his personal background in bodybuilding and athletic achievement, Richard has made a unique mark in sculpture of the 21st century.

The Man: Richard Minns lives life to the full.

The son of an Irish father and Jewish mother, Richard was born on a Ranch in Texas in 1929. He has lived all over the world in a larger-thanlife continuous adventure, spanning 14 different successful careers which have been the subject of newspaper and magazine articles, books, movies, and television shows.

A former boxing champion and rodeo competitor, Richard first trained to be a doctor; then became a journalism professor; then a professional writer; then founder and operator of one of America’s largest advertising - marketing - public relations agencies; then founder and operator of one of the world’s largest network of health and fitness spas.
