Selena Axelrod Winsnes has been engaged, since 1982, in the
translation into English, and editing of Danish language sources to
West African history, sources published from 1697 to 1822, the
period during which Denmark-Norway was an actor in the
Transatlantic Slave Trade. It comprises five major books written
for the Scandinavian public. They describe all aspects of life on
the Gold Coast Ghana], the Middle Passage and the Danish Caribbean
islands US Virgin Islands], as seen by five different men. Each had
his own agenda and mind-set, and the books, both singly and
combined, hold a wealth of information - of interest both to
scholars and lay readers. They provide important insights into the
cultural baggage the enslaved Africans carried with them to the
America's. One of the books, L.F.Rmer's A Reliable Account of the
Coast of Guinea was runner-up for the prestigious international
texts prize awarded by the U.S. African Studies Association. Selena
Winsnes lived in Ghana for five years and studied at the University
of Ghana, Legon. Her mother tongue is English; and, working
free-lance, she resides premanently in Norway with her husband,
four children and eight grandchildren. In 2008, she was awarded an

Now available in a paperback edition, this comprehensive volume on
the great Danish painter Hammershoi places him within the context
of his European contemporaries. This generously illustrated volume
examines Hammershoi's work as a whole and in relation to the
artists of his generation. Hammershoi's enigmatic paintings, with
their rich and muted palettes, have always enjoyed enormous
popularity in Scandinavia, and recently his work has received
renewed attention across the globe. Thematically arranged, this
volume includes beautiful reproductions and essays that focus on
Hammershoi's isolated private life and travels; his time in London
and Germany; and comparisons between him and such notable painters
as Seurat, Gauguin, and Whistler. Fans of this remarkable painter,
and anyone interested in modern art, will enjoy this celebration of
Hammershoi as a part of the pantheon of great European painters."

This volume illustrates the development of art in Central Europe
from 1830 - 1860 - a period which begins in the age of Biedermeier
but extends well beyond it. It shows by means of a selection of
representative works how art at this time developed independently
and was not restricted to the historical Biedermeier era.
DESCRIPTION "Is that Biedermeier?", we often ask of pictures which
date from the same period but do not look typically Biedermeier.
The publication concentrates on these works in particular by showi
ng the wide range of painting in the years between 1830 - 1860
through portraits, landscapes and genre pictures. The main focus
lies on Austrian painters like Ferdinand Georg Waldmuller, Rudolf
von Alt and Friedrich von Amerling, together with artists from N
orthern Italy, Hungary, Bohemia and Slovenia including Giuseppe
Tominz, Jozsef Borsos, Bedrich Havranek and Francesco Hayez. There
are also references to the changes in style in furniture production
at that time, which also demonstrated a remarkable divers ity.
