Three Bronze Discs is a piece of public artwork by American artist James Wines located in the courtyard of the Golda Meir Library, near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States.

"[1] According to Kenneth Bendiner, chair of the art history department at UW-Milwaukee, "The sculpture mixes and matches suggestions of the organic and the mechanical, the human and the human-made.

"[2] When the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was formed in 1956 from the Wisconsin State College-Milwaukee and the Extension Division downtown, there were only two academic units: the College of Letters and Science and the School of Education.

[1] A native of Chicago, James Wines grew up admiring the architecture of Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright.

After receiving his fine arts degree from the Syracuse University in 1956, Wines began competing for commissions which blended architecture and sculpture.
