Abstract (en)

On Morisot's ca.1871-1872 painting View of Paris from the Trocadéro (Santa Barbara Museum of Art). Emphasizes the place from which it was painted--the suburb of Passy--and what that place signified to Morisot and other women who lived there in the 1870s, rather than stressing the background view of Paris. Notes the physical and social barrier formed by the railing, and describes the gendering of city (male) and suburb (feminine). Concludes: "It is a painting whose foreground and main interest are women and the woman's-land they occupied: the modern suburbs of Paris."
