Frederic Storck (19 January 1872,[1]Bucharest – 26 December 1942, Bucharest) was a Romanian sculptor. His father was the sculptor Karl Storck. His brother, Carol Storck, was also a sculptor and his wife, Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck was a painter.
He studied at the Bucharest National University of Arts under Professor Ion Georgescu, then pursued further studies in Munich. Later, he became a Professor at the University of Arts himself and, together with Nicolae Vermont, Ștefan Luchian and others, was one of the founding members of "Tinerimea artistică" (Artistic Youth), a society devoted to Realism; drawing its inspiration from the lives of ordinary people.
His home, designed by his wife, Cecilia, and decorated with murals, became the Frederic and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck Art Museum in 1951. In addition to sculptures and paintings by members of the Storck family, the museum includes collections of furniture, old wood carvings, medals, coins, icons, pottery and other folk art objects.[2]
