Yu Xiaofu serves as the painter of Shanghai Oil Painting & Sculpture Institute, guest professor of Fine Arts College of Shanghai University, the member of Chinese Artists Association, the director of Shanghai Arts Association and China Oil Painting Society. In 1987, his painting For Guernica - A Charity Performance was prized at The First Chinese Oil Painting Exhibition. “Western oil painting is really a good thing, but difficult to learn. It takes generations of artists. At present, Chinese oil painting is at time of maturity development. We should make persistent effort for further achievement. As long as we have marvelous paintings, they will become the reputation of our country. It is as simple as the case of the football that was not born in Brazil, but is now the proud of Brazil,” said Yu Xiaofu in Pianyan Zhiyu of Best Collection of Yu Xiaofu.
