House in Santiago
James Wilson Morrice · 1915
Why it's great
A white house with a red roof stands in the sunny Caribbean, painted in a few clean, bright colors. James Wilson Morrice traveled to Cuba and the Caribbean in the winter. His light, simple style was ahead of its time. It's a sun-filled picture.
