About the Work

'Don’t Look At Me In That Tone of Voice' is one of Penny Slinger’s iconic works from her first book 50 % The Visible Woman. This book was first released in 1971. It was re-released in 2021 as a celebration of the 50-year anniversary. An homage to Max Ernst, the book includes photocollage and concrete poetry artwork with which Slinger sought to portray the feminine psyche, not just how she is seen, but how she sees, employing the tools she discovered in Surrealism. Lauded for its originality and poetic narrative, Rolling Stone Magazine remarked in the November 1973 issue "This book will become as important on your bookshelf as Sgt. Pepper is on your record rack."
