Douglas Robertson Bisset

Douglas Robertson Bisset (25 May 1908 – 30 August 2000), was a Scottish sculptor, best known for his works in the city of Glasgow and for several notable portrait busts.

[1][2] Bisset won the Newberry Gold Medal and a John Keppie Scholarship, which allowed him to travel to Germany, Austria and Denmark to further his studies.

[2] Bisset contributed plaster statues, now lost, of David Livingstone and James Watt for the Scottish Pavilion North which was part of the Empire Exhibition held in Glasgow in 1938.

[5] Many years later, he produced a relief panel, with an unusual take on the idea of the Grim Reaper, which was sited above the mortuary door of the Glasgow Victoria Infirmary.

[3] In 1944, the War Artists' Advisory Committee purchased a bronze bust by Bisset of the Victoria Cross holder John Patrick Kenneally.
