Description: | s. "Benno Schotz" CRE SCHOTZ, Benno; (Estonian; 1891-1984) The sitter was Chancellor of G.U. 1946-1971 and Rector 1965. The sculptor requested a sitting after having been impressed by Lord Boyd Orr's head when he attended a lecture by him at the McLellan Galleries. He originally intended to produce a bust, but "discovered that the bust overpowered the head. The head was complete in itself and did not need any additional trappings to support it, so I only cast the head. [ Benno Schotz "Bronze in my Blood. The memoirs of Benno Schotz", Edinburgh 1981, pp. 173-174]. The sculpture took two sittings. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PORTRAIT : HEAD : MALE : UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW : BOYD : CHANCELLOR : NOBEL PRIZE WINNER : RECTOR : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
