It was a rare thing in those days for a high school student to be able to come into direct contact with works of art. Our art textbooks had pictures, but they were nothing but landscapes, still lifes, and such. The focus was on realism.
在那個年代，一個高中生能夠接觸美術作品的機會實在少之又少，美術教科書裡會有一些圖片，但也都是些寫生風景、靜物之類的寫實繪畫。
