Note:

In 1933, Liao Xinxue received a prestigious scholarship from the Yunnan government to study art in France. Through the recommendation of Xu Beihong, he trained under the sculptor Jean Boucher. That same year, he was admitted to the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he was praised as “the virtuoso among Chinese artists.” Upon returning to China in 1984, Liao became a passionate advocate for contemporary fine arts education in Yunnan, leaving a lasting and transformative impact on the region’s cultural landscape.
