From the Author:
The Thomas Crown Affair, Ocean’s 11, Entrapment - we all love a good heist movie or book. But why the fascination?
Maybe it is the slightly romanticised view of the art thief, who uses guile and ingenuity rather than force, to ply his trade. Or perhaps the beautiful objects they steal somehow suggests that an art thief must be cultured and erudite compared to those who steal more mundane objects, such as cars and wallets.
In my opinion, however, the real reason for people’s fascination with art theft and the inspiration for The Double Eagle, lies with the inescapable paradox that led me to write The Double Eagle in the first place. How is it that works that through their soul-searching inspiration, genius and flawless execution elevate their creators close to the divine, bring out everything that is most base in human nature – envy, theft, murder, betrayal and greed?
In that sense, at least, great art is positioned at the heart of man’s age old struggle between the forces of light and darkness. And you don’t need a painting to tell you that that’s the greatest story of them all!
