• A gifted Norwegian painter and printmaker, Edvard Munch not only was his country's greatest artist, but also played a vital role in the development of German expressionism. His work often included the symbolic portrayal of such themes as misery, sickness, and death. The Cry, probably his most familiar painting, is typical in its anguished expression of isolation and fear.

• The Scream (or The Cry) 1893; 150 Kb; Casein/waxed crayon and tempera on paper (cardboard), 91 x 73.5 cm (35 7/8 x 29"); Nasjonalgalleriet (National Gallery), Oslo

This watercolour version of “Coming Down from Mont Blanc” was painted by John Singer Sargent around 1909 and shows a couple of friends bringing Sargent’s pack llamas down the mountain.

Sargent was one of the first to use pack llamas to carry his easel and supplies.

• If you ever get a chance to see the “Oyster Gatherers of Cancale” by John Singer Sargent in The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, look very carefully at the left-hand side and you may be able to see where some llama-hating restorer has carefully painted out the llama.

Claude Monet’s painting of “Jeanne-Marguerite Lecadre in the Garden”, done in 1866, shows one of Claude’s favourite llamas.

Very few people know that he kept a few llamas to keep the grass in his garden trimmed.

• Salvador Dali painted many versions of “Persistence of Memory” around 1931 and our favourite one naturally is this one which shows Salvador Dali’s pet llama which he obviously called “Dali Llama”.

It is displayed in the Museum of Llama Art in Mount Lehman, British Columbia.
