but more important by far is the abundant testimony about conrads savages which we could gather if we were so inclined from other sources and which might lead us to think that these people must have had other occupations besides merging into the evil forest or materializing out of it simply to plague marlow and his dispirited band. for as it happened, soon conrad had written his book, an event of far greater consequence was taking place in the art world of europe. this is how frank willett, a british art historian, describes it: gauguin had gone to tahiti, the most extravagant individual act of turning to a non - european culture in the decades immediately before and after 1900, when european artists were avid for new artistic experiences, but it was only about 1904 - 5 that africans began to make their distinctive impact. one piece is still identifiable; it is a mask that had been given to maurice vlaminck in 1905. he records that derain was \speechless\ and what claim does achebe make in this passage? conrads depiction of africans is not accurate. willetts depiction of african culture is fair. conrad and willett both dehumanize africans.
