Biography

(b Chicago, IL, 1885; d Paris, 1956) American Sculptor. Modernist sculptor John Bradley Storrs was born in Chicago in 1885. During his teens he studied at the Chicago Manuel Training School, where he worked with sculptural material for the first time. Storrs went on to study in Paris at the Academie Franklin, the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Arts and finally again in Paris with Auguste Rodin. Having traveled extensively throughout Europe and Egypt, Storrs developed his own styles from numerous diverse sources, most notably Ancient Greek and Egyptian sculpture, Native American geometric art and design, and the modern European movements Cubism, Futurism, Vorticism and Art Deco. Although he worked with a number of materials including bronze and terracotta, it is in his stone sculptures, often with enamel inlay, that all of his influences come together, with clean dynamic lines, solid forms, and stylized patterns the prominent features.
