I've had great luck with the masonry screws. I forget the brand, but
the screws are blue and the package includes the correct size masonry
drill bit.
I've put up some large, heavy framed old maps (the largest is 5' x 4'
with heavy glass and frame) and they are solid and safe.

Our outer walls are essentially plaster over slump block/brick. Can anyone
suggest a simple and reliable way to hang pictures? At the local hardware
store, the clerk recommended a small diameter masonry drill and masonry
screws -- they'll work, I'm sure, but it seems a bit radical.
Any alternate suggestions?
The hardware guy's recommendation is the best idea you'll find. If it's a
pretty hefty picture, you should use more than one screw.

Thanks! That is probably the simplest and tidyist method. As I noted
elsewhere, I'll see what are the smallest diameter screws that I can find.
