| Freddie had told us why Hilario Mendivil gave long necks to the figures in his art... which I couldn't remember when putting this webpage together. So I did some research: "At the peak of his popularity he was asked, in an interview, why he elongated the necks of his figures. The explanation was very simple. When he was a child he was quite short, of course. He could not see the llamas that were in the streets of his city. As a result he had to stretch his neck to be able to satisfy his curiosity. By doing so he could see from down below. What was better then, than to build into his figures what he, as a child, could not have: beautiful, long necks to be able to see the llamas."
