Alison Stilwell (Cameron) (1921 – 1991) daughter of famous World War II General Joseph Stilwell spent her early childhood and teenage years in China while her father served three tours as the military attaché at the U.S. Legation in Beijing from 1935 to 1939 (he later returned to China in 1941 during WWII). She studied under two renowned Chinese artists – Yu Fei-am and Prince P'u of the Imperial family. At 17 she held her first one-woman show at the Peking Institute of Fine Arts where a leading Chinese art critic described her as "the first Occidental to grasp the feel and technique of Oriental Art." Besides her artistic work she went on to be an author (this book and one on Chinese Painting Techniques), a lecturer on China, a military wife (to Col. William Cameron), a mother, and a Senior Fellow Emeritus and board member of the Ching Ling Foundation and the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
