My wife and I hired a captain and his very small Boston Whaler, to take us diving near the port city of Key West. Atlantic Ocean side. The captain took us to this structure not to far from shore. Told us it was the remains of a fishing platform used by writer Ernest Hemingway. Shallow, colourful dive site. Found bottles fused into the reef and covered in coral. Can't find the underwater pictures. Picture taken in localized squall.
This was Hemingway's home from 1931 to 1939. It is a private, for-profit landmark and tourist attraction now populated by six and seven-toed cats that guides claim are descendants of Hemingway's cats. The author's second son, Patrick, who lived in the house, stated in a 1994 interview in the Miami Herald's "Tropic" that his father had peacocks in Key West, but no cats; he owned cats in Cuba. In a 1972 L.A. Times interview, Hemingway's widow Mary denounced the sale of "Hemingway cats" by the owners of the house as "An outright lie. Rank exploitation of Ernest's name." The house no longer sells cats, but does continue a selective breeding program for them.
It was in this house that he did some of his best work, including the final draft to "A Farewell to Arms," and the short story classics "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."

Modo & Modo's claim that Hemingway used a moleskine notebook is probably based on this paragraph.
It also tells us that Hemingway used a pencil when writing stories.

Finca Vigía was the Cuban home of the writer Ernest Hemingway from 1939 to 1960 and is situated in the working class town of San Francisco de Paula, some 12 miles east of Havana. It was here that he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea.
After Hemingway's suicide in 1961, the Cuban government took ownership of the colonial-style property, which sadly fell into a state of neglect and disrepair. Thankfully, restoration and preservation work is well under way, and the house is a government-run museum – and a fascinating, absorbing one at that.
This is Hemingway's dining room.
The Ernest Hemingway House was the residence of author Ernest Hemingway in Key West, Florida, United States. It is located near a prominent lighthouse close to the Southern coast of the island. On November 24, 1968, it was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
Lugar donde Ernest Hemingway. se tomaba sus mojitos.
En Cuba, casi todas las fondas (restaurantes modestos) y bodegas (pequeños mercados de vecindario) se hallaban estratégicamente situados en las esquinas o extremos de una calle.
Originalmente, y antes de ser sólo un restaurante, este local había sido una bodega que, a diferencia del resto, estaba a mitad de una calle. Así, pues, no se trataba de una bodega cualquiera, sino de la bodeguita que estaba en el medio de una calle. Cuando el local pasó a ser restaurante, su dueño decidió conservar el nombre con el que los clientes ya habían bautizado su negocio

This was Hemingway and his wife Hadley’s first Paris apartment, up on the third floor. It had cold water and a squat toilet on the landing, the contents of which were pumped into a horse-drawn tank wagon each night.

Three dozen brightly colored, felt heads impaled on wooden posts populate five windows on a bustling New York City intersection. Among the menagerie are imagined creatures, American icons, high school crushes, and self-portraits. The resulting spectacle unravels the invented and extant, the beautiful and the grotesque, what we desire and what we fear. Adam Parker Smith's Bold As Love, an installation inspired by an execution scene in Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, mischievously reveals how we perform, aestheticize, and consume violence.
We are no strangers to public displays of violence. Our histories and myths are crowded with tales of executions as sport or as warning, enacted for country or for love. In his novel set during the Spanish Civil War, Hemingway fictionalized the horrific real-life execution of fascist sympathizers in the town of Ronda in 1936. In a pivotal scene, accused fascists are gathered up by their neighbors, held captive, flayed, and herded off a cliff. With the protagonists as the perpetrators, we comprehend the celebration and horror of the act.
These contradictory emotions are conjured in Smith's installation. Passersby are arrested by the theatrics, beauty, and humor of the spectacle; only after closer inspection do they perceive the underlying horror of the scene. "That is the beauty of it," one of Hemingway's peasants explains, "there must be many blows."
Bold As Love was initiated through Smith's collaboration with Chicago-area high school students at the Blue Sky Project artists residency program. The series has been re-contextualized in Broadway Windows. The curators collaborated with Smith to construct a head, which is also on view.
Bold as Love is the final project for Curatorial Praxis, a graduate course offered by the Visual Arts Administration Program in the NYU Steinhardt School's Department of Art and Art Professions.
BROADWAY WINDOWS
Founded in 1984 as a gallery dedicated to providing 24-hour art viewing for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, Broadway Windows is strongly committed to the goal of bringing contemporary art to a new and ever-growing viewing public. Site specific installations of all imaginable media grace the five showcase windows located at the corner of Broadway and East Tenth Street.
The top of the fountain is an old Spanish olive jar from Cuba, but the trough is the interesting thing. This came from "Sloppy Joe's" (Hemingway's drinking haunt) and was originally a urinal.
The house was built by Asa Tift, a marine architect (and Confederate mariner), in 1851. In 1931 Hemingway purchased it and lived here with his second wife, Pauline, and their two sons until 1939.
Here, Hemingway completed the final draft of "A Farewell to Arms," as well as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".

Courtesy of a mutated predecessor, quite a few of Hemingway's cats are polydactyl (many-toed). The original cat was a gift to Hemingway from a friend of his - she bred, and those litters bred. The Hemingway house aims to hold about sixty, with the numbers controlled through spaying.
