 There are more things that differ between the artist Milles and the engineer Kreuger, than that Kreuger loved jazz music while Milles created "Agnosto Deo". Milles had to rely on magnate George Booth to act out as an artistic genius while Kreuger only relied on himself in his project to connect and stabilize the different economical markets of the world. Methods differ too - in the practical work Kreuger was a master of cooperation and depended on many others to get the job done while Milles operated all alone in his artistic endeavor. Where Kreuger cooperated with members of governments, boards and financial groupings, living people of his own time, Milles all alone sculptured gods and angels, dead kings and saints. Kreuger died on top of his life while he was moving his headquarters to Paris and Place Vendôme, while he was on the way to squeeze illegal baissism and outstep a gang of conservative giants ready to throw bombs at each other once again after the devastating First World War. Milles lived on and in the middle of the Second World War he was teaching at Cranbook Academy of Art, deeply involved in George Booths project to create harmonious and healthy human beings in the peaceful vicinity of "The Gate of Friendship" at the Cranbrook Institute.
