 For at least a thousand years, the Amazonian rainforest of Ecuador, the Oriente, has been home to the Huaorani (meaning ‘human beings’ or ‘the people’). They consider themselves to be the bravest tribe in the Amazon. Until 1956, they had never had any contact with the outside world.



In the late 1940s, William Scott (1913-1989) realised that "if the guitar was to Braque his Madonna, the frying pan could be my guitar." Described by the distinguished critic Hilton Kramer as "the best painter of his generation in England", Scott is most often admired for his kitchen-table still lifes, featuring pots, pans, bowls, plates of mackerel, pears and so on – all rendered simple and plain. "I chose … objects without any glamour," he said ("a few eggs, a toasting fork"): "I wanted my pictures to have a painting not literary success."
