Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness

1900-1920
Craftsman/Arts & Crafts

This deep, "oxblood" maroon 1916 exterior paint would add the needed accenting color to the exterior trim, window sashes and doors of a shingled or stucco craftsman or Tudor revival home. Published in 1902, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is known as one of the greatest symbolic pieces of English literature. Narrated by a captain transporting ivory down the Congo River, the novel explores topics surrounding imperialism and the darkness within mankind.
