Abstract

This study explains how expatriate South Australian woman artists established both new lives and art careers in the modern metropoles of Paris and London in the early years of the twentieth century. It also argues that relocation to the modern metropole required new representational forms in their art practices. The interior view set in domestic, rather than public space was the particular form chosen by the women of this study to represent their experience of modern urban life.
