《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“

As the title of David Bailey's earlier monograph "Bailey'sDemocracy" suggests, the legendary British photographer likes tobring the same quality of attention to each of his subjects,irrespective of their fame or reputation: "I treat the boy down atthe post office like the president of Russia, and the president ofRussia like the boy down at the post office." "David Bailey's Eye"presents a choice selection of Bailey's photographs--mostly inblack-and-white, some in color--spanning the years between 1962 and2008, the breadth of Bailey's career.
