Benno Schotz (1891-1984) was born in Estonia, but emigrated to Glasgow in 1912, where he gained an engineering diploma from the Royal Technical College. From 1914 to 1923 he worked in the drawing office of John Brown and Co, a Clydebank shipbuilders, while attending evening classes in sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. Although Schotz is frequently referred to as an Estonian sculptor, all his professional life was in Scotland. He became a naturalized British subject in 1930 and a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy, head of sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art (a post he held from 1938 until his retirement in 1961). He was made a Freeman of the City of Glasgow in 1981 and died in 1984. He is buried in Jerusalem. Courtesy John and Aithne Barron.
