Even before Lawrence Block could rest on his laurels from In
Sunlight or In Shadow, a question arose. What would he do for an
encore? Any number of artists have produced evocative work,
paintings that could trigger a literary response. But none came to
mind who could equal Hopper in turning out canvas after canvas. If
no single artist could take Hopper's place, how about a full
palette of them? Suppose each author was invited to select a
painting from the whole panoply of visual art-From the cave
drawings at Lascaux to a contemporary abstract canvas on which the
paint has barely dried. And what a dazzling response! Joyce Carol
Oates picked Le Beaux Jours by Balthus. Warren Moore chose Salvador
Dali's The Pharmacist of Ampurdam Seeking Absolutely Nothing.
Michael Connelly, who sent Harry Bosch to Chicago for a close look
at Nighthawks, has a go at The Garden of Earthly Delights by
Harry's namesake Hieronymous Bosch. S. J. Rozan finds a story in
Hokusai's The Great Wave, while Jeffery Deaver's "A Significant
Find" draws its inspiration from-yes-those prehistoric cave
drawings at Lascaux. And Kristine Kathryn Rusch moves from painting
to sculpture and selects Rodin. In artists ranging from Art Frahm
and Norman Rockwell to Rene Magritte and Clifford Still, the
impressive concept goes on to include Thomas Pluck, Sarah Weinman,
David Morrell, Craig Ferguson, Joe R. Lansdale, Jill D. Block,
Justin Scott, Jonathan Santlofer, Gail Levin, Nicholas Christopher,
and Lee Child, with each story accompanied in color by the work of
art that inspired it.
