Heart of Darkness by Joseph
Conrad
'In the offing the sea and the sky were
welded together without a joint, and in the luminous
space the tanned sails of the barges drifting up with
the tide seemed to stand still in red clusters of canvas
sharply peaked, with gleams of varnished spirits.' Joseph
Conrad. Heart of Darkness. 1902.
This vibrant description of the landscape seems to go hand in hand with the fauvist painting of the time.
