King's Knight - 1986; David Klamen: lamen often paints pictures that feel calm and yet threatening at the same time. His moose is standing alone on a barren shore in front of unpleasant grey water. His horns are lowered. Do you feel like he's getting ready to charge at us and fight? Or will he turn away and walk quietly back to the water?

Sleeping Gypsy, Henri Rousseau: As a musician, the gypsy in this painting is an artist; as a traveler, she has no clear social place. Lost in the self-absorption that is deep, dreaming sleep, she is dangerously vulnerable—yet the lion is calmed and entranced.
