John Storrs (1885–1956) was a pioneering American modernist sculptor best known for his Art Deco and “Machine Age” abstract works that merged the aesthetics of industrialism with architectural forms. His sculptures often feature sleek, vertical lines inspired by the 1920s skyscraper boom, utilizing materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and polychromed terracotta.
