Русские художники и путешественники ХIХ века
A l'heure où l'Europe s'ouvre avec curiosité à la connaissance de l'art russe, la mise en lumière de ce fonds de dessins de peintres russes du XIXe siècle nous fait revivre les pérégrinations d'artistes en quête de leur identité culturelle, au travers de leurs voyages d'étude en Occident ou de leur fascination pour les charmes d'un Orient proche. C'est à la faveur d'un legs que le Cabinet des dessins du Musée d'art et d'histoire de Genève s'est enrichi en 1899 de cet ensemble et c'est à Pauline Couriard, femme peintre et épouse d'un médecin genevois établi à Saint-Pétersbourg, que furent initialement offertes ces pages, en remerciement de son engagement dans le monde artistique de son époque. Plusieurs œuvres issues des collections du Département des beaux-arts du Musée d'art et d'histoire, de la Bibliothèque de Genève et de la Société des Arts de Genève, complètent ce voyage fascinant et inédit.
Herminie and Fanny Pereire
Herminie and Fanny Pereire were sisters-in-law, married to the eminent Jewish bankers and Saint-Simonian socialists Emile and Isaac. They were also mother and daughter. This book, a companion to the author's acclaimed Emile and Isaac Pereire (2015), sheds new light on elite Jewish families in nineteenth-century France. Drawing on the family archives, it traces the Pereires across a century of major social and political change, from the Napoleonic period to the cusp of the First World War, revealing the active role they played as bourgeois women both within and outside the family. It offers insights into Jewish assimilation, embourgeoisement and gender relations, through the lens of one of the most fascinating families of the century.

This book, the catalog of an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, presents more than 140 paintings, drawings, sculptures, miscellaneous objects, installations, photographs, videos, posters, and prints, all donated to the museum in 2007.
