James Stovall Morris was born in Marshall, Missouri, and studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. At some point, he saw a painting by John Sloan (most likely Ancestral Spirits, 1919, in the New Mexico Museum of Art) that impressed him greatly. After he met John Sloan in Santa Fe, Sloan provided Morris with a scholarship to the Arts Student League, from which he returned in 1933. Morris’s work is distinctive for its dynamic and high-energy surrealist portrayal of Santa Fe houses and landscapes. Lightning, ca. 1940, is a fantastical homage to the sometimes terrifying electrical storms that rip through northern New Mexico during the summer monsoons.
