There is no way in which we can retrospectively erase the Treaty of Vienna or the Great Irish Famine. It is a peculiar feature of human actions that, once performed, they can never be recuperated. What is true of the past will always be true of it.
Terry Eagleton

Chris Ofili

Some of these individual layers of painting were better than others, but that was something that you would often only realise retrospectively.
