Griffin, Robert, - Affectionately, Wallace: the life and work of W. W. Gilchrist.

Bridgton, ME, Wally Books, (2001). VG PB ex-library. Although Gilchrist did not use symbolism in his work, yet in the Girl in Pink there is an element of mystery and may have. even entered into the symbolic. The painting shows the serene, sensual beauty of a young woman who is gorgeously clothed and perfectly posed, a woman with a face as lovely and unreadable as Mona Lisa's. Behind her, hovering ghostlike in the darkly painted mirror, lies the sure sign of tragedy, the hardship and heartbreak of ephemeral beauty, the ineffable sadness of age and the stark inevitability of death. Library markings.
