Welcome Hotel, Villefranche-sur-Mer. The Welcome Hotel has hosted many famous people over the years, including Jean Cocteau with his young protégé, the emerging writer Raymond Radiguet (Le Diable au Corps - 1923), who both wrote there. Radiguet died the same year at age 20. Ernest Hemingway implied that young Radiguet employed his (bi)sexuality to advance his career, as a writer "who knew how to make his career not only with his pen but with his pencil."
Hôtel Welcome, Villefranche-sur-Mer. L'Hôtel Welcome a accueilli de nombreuses personnalités au fil des ans, dont Jean Cocteau et son jeune protégé, l'écrivain émergent Raymond Radiguet (Le Diable au Corps - 1923), qui y ont tous deux écrit à l'hôtel. Radiguet est décédé la même année à l'âge de 20 ans. Ernest Hemingway a laissé entendre que le jeune Radiguet a utilisé sa (bi)sexualité pour faire avancer sa carrière, en tant qu'écrivain « qui a su faire sa carrière non seulement avec sa plume mais avec son crayon ».

There used to be a branch of this Key West outlet in the Aloha Tower Marketplace. For a time it was a popular nightspot-restaurant-bar. It closed back in 1998 or so. (Aloha Tower Marketplace has had a notorous turnover in the past 10-15 years!). In any event, I found this denim jacket (virtually brand new) in a drawer. I have no recollection of acquiring it in the first place.

... Except for the photo on the top right that I could not find for sale as postcard in shops (seen in the lobby of a posh hotel of Havana - where I did not stay but enjoyed sitting sometimes in the comfortable armchairs :o))),
... the other photos could be bought in many tourist spots in Cuba.
After touring the Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West, we headed into the backyard to check out Ernest Hemingway's writing studio, gardens, and grounds. Along the way, I spotted one of the feline descendants of Ernest Hemingway's polydactyl cats relaxing in the shade of a planter. (Not all of the cats have six toes, but all carry the polydactyl gene.)
A view of the master bedroom inside the Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West. The cat sculpture atop the chest is a replica of a sculpture that Pablo Picasso gave to Ernest Hemingway, who had a fondness for cats.
Details from the informational signage hung on the wall nearby:
The Picasso Cat's Tale
This statue of a cat was discovered, broken, in a trunk here on the property by Mrs. Bernice Dickson, founder of The Hemingway Museum. She glued it together and placed it on her coffee table. Later, the first Mrs. Hemingway, Hadley Richardson, came here to visit and noticed the statue. She told Mrs. Dickson the story of Hemingway trading Picasso, whom he met through Gertrude Stein during his Paris years, a case of hand grenades for the statue. Mrs. Dickson promptly put the statue on display in the museum, where it was enjoyed by visitors for numerous years.
Several years ago, a thief grabbed the statue and broke it off the top of the chest where Mrs. Dickson had glued it for safety, not having the resources available today for security and preservation.
The thief was eventually captured, due to the diligence of law enforcement and the efforts of concerned citizens who phoned in tips. Unfortunately, the statue was badly damaged by the perpetrator and for that reason is no longer on display.
The current statue was created by Bob Orlin, an artist and past winner of the Papa Hemingway Look-Alike Contest.
Hemingway, Hadley and their son ‘Bumby’ moved to an apartment above a sawmill here in January 1924, just down the road from Ezra Pound with whom he formed a strong friendship.

The antiaircraft refuge number 4 is one of the 20 refugees built in Tortosa to protect the civil population from aerial bombardments during the Spanish Civil War.
In the face of the threat of the possible attacks of Italian and German aviation, the Passive Defense Board of Tortosa reacts with the location of anti-aircraft batteries (active defense) and the construction of antiaircraft refuges taking advantage of the city's orography.
Specifically, this refuge is located on Ernest Hemingway Street, behind the old cinema Fémina.
Built with public funds under the slope of the Algarrobo neighborhood, it offers a capacity for 400 people, being the largest in the city.
It is a system of galleries of one meter wide by two of height, excavated on clay soil and rounded pebble, with pavement of earth, and that have been lined with bricks and concrete.

Les Estranges Amoureuses by Tennessee Williams
This painting’s title translates from French into ‘The Strange Lovers’. It depicts two yang naked man standing in close proximity to one another, although there is a mood of loneliness, paralleling themes exercised in Williams’ plays. The figures appear to be disconnected, or perhaps oblivious to what is around them, or ostracized for tacit reasons.
En la plaza se encuentra el Museo Taurino que lleva el nombre de Antonio Ordóñez, que estuvo muy vinculado a Málaga.
Chaquetilla y chaleco del picador José González, 'Pepillo de Málaga', expuestos en el Museo Taurino Antonio Ordóñez de Málaga.
Following our tour of the Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West, I headed around the back of the gift shop to purchase some bottled water from the vending machines by the restroom. The door to the women's restroom was open, and I spotted this cute polydactyl cat relaxing on the tile floor. (Not all of the cats have six toes, but all carry the polydactyl gene.)
A friend gave me this to read. The book was pretty beat up with a missing cover and pages nearly torn in half. I figured it would be something different for me to read, but I guess I just am not meant to read "classic" literature. I didn't find the book very interesting and in fact thought it was written at a middle school level. Of course what do I know?
Hemingway’s study is on the second floor of a small building behind the home. It was here that he wrote some of his most famous works, including classics like "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," “To Have And Have Not,” and “Green Hills of Africa.”
Elizabeth Drake, Drake Interiors Ltd designed the theme with the hidden courtyard garden. Hemingway lived next door for a time with his wife after their honeymoon.
While in Paris he wrote "The Sun also Rises"

This is a collage of a few of the pictures I took last fall (2006) for Steve, an avid Hemingway enthusiast. The entire Hemingway set was deleted by a computer hacker who accessed my Flickr account.

I was sorting through some old art supplies and got the urge to create some ACEO cards (ie. Art Card Editions and Originals). Size: 2.5" x 3.5". Medium: Art Markers and colored pencils on card stock. (sorry for the obnoxious watermark... too many internet thieves).

Untitled, 1978 by Tennessee Williams
This portret is of unknown individual who connected with Williams in Key West. It was not uncommon for Williams to spend time in the company of young men.
Occasionally, he would memorialize the encounter with a painting and, on occasion, he bestowed the painting upon his young companions as a gift.
