FINANCIAL TIMES. 30.9.2020. 

Extract from interview with Sir Alex Younger, outgoing M16 chief, by the editor, Roula Khalaf.

 

‘Before I leave, Younger shows me another painting, this one placed on the meeting table, rather than hung on a wall. It is the work of James Hart Dyke, an artist who was invited to spend a year with MI6 to commemorate the SIS centenary in 2009. “Waiting in the Hotel Room” shows a man in a suit, his back turned, looking out the window. It radiates the anxious energy of a spy awaiting the arrival of an agent. It is, I suspect, the image of his career that will endure in his mind long after he has left the service.’
