A Wry Eye: Witty, Sardonic and Ironic Work by Contemporary Printmakers

In this set of lithographs, completed in the first years of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, California, Treiman explores the trials and pleasures of a mature relationship. She prefaces the series with a quotation from the 17th-century mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal: "What a chimera, then is man! What a novelty, what a monster, what a chaos, what a prodigy! A judge of all things, feeble worm of the earth, depository of truth cloaca of uncertainty and error, the glory and the shame of the universe."
