Benno Schotz often took inspiration from forms in nature for his sculptures. In this sketchbook, Schotz focused on tree branches that had interesting compositions and forms, noticing human figures within nature’s objects. However, this sketchbook differs from Schotz’ other drawings, as he seems to focus more on drawing household furniture, which is an interesting exception to his usual subjects. Sculptors like Benno Schotz often turned their hand to furniture as it a practical outlet for their talents.
Some of the sketches are upside down, to stay true to the original object.
