This information may change due to ongoing research. Glossary of Terms
During the 1920s John Storrs moved from a realistic style, which defines his earliest works, to a more progressive approach that was influenced by Cubism. The curvaceous forms and anthropomorphic subject of Abstract Figure also suggest the impact of Surrealism. The upper body of the figure can be read several ways, such as a head with a wide-open mouth and a long wagging tongue or a man-turned-elephant, whose trunk sways to the side.
