与同代中国艺术家的成长环境一样,苗重安也是在中国传统与西洋画法两只巨手格拒交握的过程中被塑造成型的。 当1960年按照国家“抢救传统”的文化战略,刚毕业留校任助教的苗重安奉西安美术学院委派,到上海中国画院正式拜贺天健先生为师的时候,贺先生首先批评他往日的弟子、苗重安的第一位山水画教师罗铭教授,说:“罗铭！你把苗重安引向西洋画的路子,我要把他的画变成中国画！” Similar to the growing environment of contemporary Chinese artists, Miao Zhong’an was also shaped in the process of refusing to hand over the two giant hands of Chinese tradition and Western painting. When in 1960, according to the cultural strategy of “rescuing the traditions” of the country, Professor Miao Chong, who had just graduated from the post of an assistant professor, was appointed by the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts to formally congratulate Mr. Tian Jian as a teacher at the Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy, Mr. He first criticized his past Professor Luo Ming, the disciple and Miao Chong’an’s first landscape teacher, said: “You’re turning Miao Mianan onto the Western painting. I want to turn his painting into a Chinese painting!”
