La Maison et Musée d’Ernest Hemingway à Key West :
Ernest Hemingway a débarqué à Key West (au printemps 1928) avec sa deuxième femme Pauline, sur les conseils de John Dos Passos, autre membre de ce que l'on a appelé la "Génération perdue" (artistes et écrivains américains expatriés à Paris dans les années 1920). En déambulant dans les rues, on peut presque imaginer le style de vie de ce monstre sacré dans les années 1930, du temps d’un autre Key West, celui des parties de pêche, de la prohibition, des cargaisons pirates pour Cuba et de la tempête du siècle de 1935.
Après deux saisons passées à Key West, l’oncle de Pauline acheta, pour le jeune couple, la maison de Whitehead Street, pour 8000 dollars en 1931. La maison en pierre, de style franco-espagnol en vogue à la Nouvelle-Orléans, a été construite en 1851 par Asa Tift (architecte dans la marine et chasseur de trésors dans les épaves). Le domaine étant le deuxième point de sol le plus élevé de l'île de Key West, le calcaire à partir duquel la maison est construite a été excavé directement du sol sous la structure et taillé à la main, grâce à une main-d’œuvre constituée d’esclaves. L'électricité a été ajoutée vers 1899 et la plomberie vers 1944, lorsque Key West a reçu l'eau courante de Florida City. Avant cela, il fallait utiliser l'eau de pluie collectée dans deux réservoirs, l'un entre la maison principale et la remise et l'autre sur le toit de la maison principale.
La villa est à étage et entourée de balcons, avec des portes-fenêtres et de grands volets. La maison de Key West est composée de peu de pièces (mais relativement grandes). A l'abandon depuis 1889 le couple entrepris de grandes rénovations. Les Hemingway l'ont décorée de meubles venus d'Europe (notamment des antiquités espagnoles du XVIIIe siècle), de trophées rapportés de leurs safaris en Afrique ou de leurs parties de chasse dans l'Ouest américain. La collection de lustres a remplacé tous les anciens ventilateurs de plafond. Comme Ernest était également amateur d'art, vous pouvez voir une vue de l'église Saint-Paul peinte par l'artiste local Eugene Otto (sur le mur du fond du salon) et une grande lithographie montre Gregorio Fuentes (cuisinier et compagnon sur le bateau de pêche de Papa Pilar pendant plus de 20 ans). Dans la pièce en face du salon, il y a une chaise Cardinal en cuir rouge (près de la porte) qui aurait été utilisé comme accessoire dans la production de Broadway de La cinquième colonne. Dans cette atmosphère si particulière, un air de « Belle époque » plane dans l’air. Pour les fans de l’écrivain, on retrouve son fauteuil fétiche, d’anciennes photos personnelles de ses voyages autour du globe, et bien sûr sa machine à écrire Royal.
Ernest Hemingway landed in Key West (in the spring of 1928) with his second wife Pauline, on the advice of John Dos Passos, another member of the so-called "Lost Generation" (American artists and writers expatriated in Paris in the 1920s). Walking through the streets, you can almost imagine the lifestyle of this sacred monster in the 1930s, in the days of another Key West, that of fishing trips, prohibition, pirate cargo for Cuba and the storm of the century of 1935.
After two seasons in Key West, Pauline's uncle bought the Whitehead Street house for the young couple for $ 8,000 in 1931. The French-Spanish stone house in vogue in New Orleans, was built in 1851 by Asa Tift (architect in the navy and treasure hunter in wrecks). The estate being the second highest point of soil on the island of Key West, the limestone from which the house is built was excavated directly from the ground under the structure and cut by hand, using a hand work made up of slaves. Electricity was added around 1899 and plumbing around 1944, when Key West received running water from Florida City. Before that, rainwater collected in two tanks had to be used, one between the main house and the shed and the other on the roof of the main house.
The villa is upstairs and surrounded by balconies, with patio doors and large shutters. The house in Key West is made up of few rooms (but relatively large). Abandoned since 1889, the couple undertook major renovations. The Hemingways decorated it with furniture from Europe (notably Spanish antiquities from the 18th century), trophies brought back from their safaris in Africa or from their hunting trips in the American West. The chandelier collection has replaced all the old ceiling fans. As Ernest was also an art lover, you can see a view of the Saint Paul Church painted by local artist Eugene Otto (on the back wall of the living room) and a large lithograph shows Gregorio Fuentes (cook and companion on Papa Pilar's fishing boat for more than 20 years). In the room opposite the living room, there is a Cardinal chair in red leather (near the door) which would have been used as an accessory in the Broadway production of The Fifth Column. In this very special atmosphere, an air of "Belle Epoque" hangs in the air. For fans of the writer, there is his favorite chair, old personal photos from his travels around the globe, and of course his Royal typewriter.

Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is set during the Spanish civil war and tells the story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain. The setting of the story is less important than Hemingway's treatment of the themes of love, death, honor and commitment.

From the back cover:
"In assembling this collection of the greatest war stories of all time, Ernest Hemingway has given us a rare glimpse into history. Presented here are incidents of battle which do not extol wars, but rather the men whose blood and heroism determine their outcome.
"We stand with the valiant Greeks at Thermopylae, hurl ourselves forward with the French lancers at Austerlitz, bleed with the heroes of the Alamo, and shout our determination at the flame-filled skies over Pearl Harbor. We are side-by-side with men of all nations, as their gallantry burns into history's pages!"

American screen legend Gary Cooper (1901-1961) is well remembered for his stoic, understated acting style in more than one hundred Westerns, comedies and dramas. He received five Oscar nominations and won twice for his roles as Alvin York in Sergeant York (1941) and as Will Kane in High Noon (1952).
Paris hier et aujourd’hui. Rue de l’Odéon. Here is a good example of how the present is just a sad reminder of its glorious past. Shakespeare and Company is a world famous Parisian bookstore. It was originally established by the American expatriate, Sylvia Beach, as a lending library as well as a bookstore. The original shop opened in 1919 at 8 rue Dupuytren. In 1921 it moved to a larger location here at 12 rue de l’Odéon. It closed in 1941 during the Nazi occupation of Paris in World War II. It never re-opened. (Another Shakespeare and Company opening in 1951, by George Whitman, in the 5th arrondissement still exists today and is a very popular destination for tourists). During the 1920s, writers and artists of the “Lost Generation,” including; Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce and Man Ray, spent a lot of time here. The photo from 1928 was taken on Sylvia’s birthday, 14 March. From left to right; Myrsine Moschos, Hélène Moschos, Sylvia Beach and Ernest Hemingway. Myrsine was an assistant to Beach. Her sister Hélène was an assistant to James Joyce while he worked on his manuscript for “Ulysses.” In the photo Hemingway is seen with a bandaged head. Supposedly he had an accident with a falling skylight, in the toilet, at his apartment. I love thinking that a young Hemingway (a ghost now) was hanging out just feet from where I stood to take the photo. Today, ah well, it looks like a prison. Progress? I don’t think so.
Do not ask for who the phone rings. It rings for thee. The title (and background text) are adapted from a line in John Donne’s 1624 work ‘Devotions of Emergent Occasions’ which was famously borrowed by Ernest Hemmingway for the title of his 1940 book about the Spanish Civil War ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’. What it means exactly in this context is for me to know and you to find out. Melanie here also knows. But she’s not telling either.
‘Do not ask’ is an edition of 4 created on A2 Bockingford paper using the magic of spray paint, stencils, imagination, paint pen and smoke. Yes, actual smoke. Which can be difficult to control but is fun to use. They’re £150 each and are available on our Big Cartel page or by sliding into our DM’s…

LES CHATS
Dès l’entrée, on peut lire le panneau : « Please, don’t pick up the cats » ! On ne peut pas manquer en déambulant dans la maison et le jardin les fameux chats polydactyles à six doigts d’Hemingway. Il y en aurait actuellement une soixantaine dont une trentaine présentant cette anomalie génétique congénitale qui leur donne plus de "doigts" et de coussinets que la normale. Ils seraient tous les descendant de « Snowball » le premier chat blanc offert à Hemingway par un ami capitaine.
Tous les chats sont bien soignés, le musée ayant son propre vétérinaire : ils sont vaccinés, traités contre les parasites, ont une assurance maladie, un plan de santé dentaire et sont presque tous stérilisés. Les chats ont aussi droit à la maison en miniature. Les traditions d’Hemingway sont encore respectées aujourd’hui. Un coin du jardin est transformé en cimetière et tous les chats disparus ont droit à leur pierre tombale. Comme le voulait l’écrivain, ils portent tous le nom de personnes célèbres : Simone de Beauvoire, Charlie Chaplin, Ivan le Terrible, Colette, Franck Sinatra,…
THE CATS
From the entrance you can read the sign: "Please, don’t pick up the cats"! You can't miss the famous six-fingered hemingway polydactyl cats walking around the house and garden. There are currently about sixty including thirty with this congenital genetic anomaly which gives them more "fingers" and pads than normal. They are said to be all descendants of "Snowball", the first white cat offered to Hemingway by a captain friend.
All cats are well cared for, the museum has its own veterinarian: they are vaccinated, treated against parasites, have health insurance, a dental health plan and are almost all sterilized. Cats are also entitled to the miniature house. Hemingway traditions are still respected today. A corner of the garden is transformed into a cemetery and all missing cats are entitled to their tombstone. As the writer wanted, they all bear the names of famous people: Simone de Beauvoire, Charlie Chaplin, Ivan the Terrible, Colette, Franck Sinatra, ...

Finca Vigía was the home of Ernest Hemingway in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba, and now houses a museum.
Hemingway lived in the house from mid 1939 to 1960, renting it at first, and then buying it in December 1940 after he married his third wife Martha Gellhorn. Hemingway paid $12,500 for the property. The property was located for Hemingway by Gellhorn, who had come to Cuba to be with Hemingway but decided she did not want to live in the small room he rented at the Hotel Ambos Mundos. The Finca at the time consisted of 15 acres (61,000 m2) with a farmhouse.
It was at Finca Vigía that he wrote much of For Whom the Bell Tolls (a novel of the Spanish Civil War which Hemingway had covered as a journalist with Gellhorn in the late 1930s—the novel was started at the Ambos Mundos, and some was also written in Idaho). Hemingway would later buy the property out of some of the first royalties from the book, published in 1940.
When Hemingway and Gellhorn were divorced in 1945, Hemingway kept Finca Vigia and lived there during the winters with his last wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway.
At the Finca, Hemingway also wrote The Old Man and the Sea (1951) about a fisherman who worked the waters off Havana.

Before that, rainwater collected in two tanks had to be used, one between the main house and the shed and the other on the roof of the main house.
The villa is upstairs and surrounded by balconies, with patio doors and large shutters. The house in Key West is made up of few rooms (but relatively large). Abandoned since 1889, the couple undertook major renovations. The Hemingways decorated it with furniture from Europe (notably Spanish antiquities from the 18th century), trophies brought back from their safaris in Africa or from their hunting trips in the American West. The chandelier collection has replaced all the old ceiling fans. As Ernest was also an art lover, you can see a view of the Saint Paul Church painted by local artist Eugene Otto (on the back wall of the living room) and a large lithograph shows Gregorio Fuentes (cook and companion on Papa Pilar's fishing boat for more than 20 years). In the room opposite the living room, there is a Cardinal chair in red leather (near the door) which would have been used as an accessory in the Broadway production of The Fifth Column. In this very special atmosphere, an air of "Belle Epoque" hangs in the air. For fans of the writer, there is his favorite chair, old personal photos from his travels around the globe, and of course his Royal typewriter.
Ernest Hemingway vio por primera vez los Sanfermines de Pamplona con solo 24 años en 1923 acompañado de su primera mujer, Hadley Richardson. Esa estancia inspiraría varias de sus novelas y sería la primera de una serie de visitas que se prolongarían durante muchos años, la última en 1959. Hemingway fue un gran admirador de las ferias taurinas, no se perdía una corrida. En 1926 publicó la novela que lo convertiría en un escritor de éxito, Fiesta (The sun also rises), que contribuiría a dar a conocer los Sanfermines a todo el mundo. El que sería premio Nobel de literatura en el año 1954 relata en Fiesta diversas escenas inspiradas en lo que pudo ver en los Sanfermines. Por ejemplo, narra uno de los hechos que más le impresionó en una de sus visitas, la muerte de un mozo por asta de toro. Seguramente esta muerte ficticia estuvo inspirada en la muerte real de Esteban Domeño en 1924, el primer muerto oficial de los Sanfermines. Hemingway utiliza datos ficticios para narrar de la siguiente forma la muerte del mozo: «Más tarde supimos que el hombre muerto por el toro se llamaba Vicente Girones y que venía de cerca de Tafalla. Al día siguiente en el periódico leímos que tenía 28 años y que tenía una granja, una esposa y dos hijos. Después de casarse había seguido viniendo a las fiestas cada año». A partir de entonces los Sanfermines dejarían de ser una fiesta de carácter eminentemente local para recibir año tras año una importante cantidad de visitantes extranjeros. A partir de la publicación de su novela, un alto número de norteamericanos decidieron visitar Pamplona en San Fermín. Entre ellos, destacan David Balck (40 visitas); Matt Carney; Alice Hall; Joe Disler; Ray Morton; el dramaturgo Arthur Miller y su mujer, entre otras celebridades norteamericanas.
No obstante ser la más conocida, Fiesta no es la única novela, ni siquiera la primera, que describe los sanfermines. Existe una extensa literatura sanferminera escrita por autores de diversas nacionalidades, y en muy diversos géneros.

Ernest Hemingway saw the Sanfermines in Pamplona for the first time when he was only 24 years old in 1923, accompanied by his first wife, Hadley Richardson. That visit would inspire several of his novels and would be the first of a series of visits that would last for many years, the last in 1959. Hemingway was a great admirer of bullfighting fairs, and never missed a bullfight. In 1926 he published the novel that would make him a successful writer, Fiesta (The sun also rises), which would contribute to making the Sanfermines known all over the world. In Fiesta, the novelist, who would go on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, recounts various scenes inspired by what he saw in the Sanfermines. For example, he narrates one of the events that most impressed him during one of his visits, the death of a young man by a bull's horn. This fictitious death was probably inspired by the real death of Esteban Domeño in 1924, the first official death of the Sanfermines. Hemingway uses fictitious data to narrate the death of the young man in the following way: "Later we learned that the man killed by the bull was called Vicente Girones and that he came from near Tafalla. The next day in the newspaper we read that he was 28 years old and that he had a farm, a wife and two children. After his marriage he had continued to come to the fiestas every year". From then on, the Sanfermines would cease to be an eminently local fiesta and would receive year after year a large number of foreign visitors. After the publication of his novel, a large number of North Americans decided to visit Pamplona during San Fermín. Among them are David Balck (40 visits); Matt Carney; Alice Hall; Joe Disler; Ray Morton; the playwright Arthur Miller and his wife, among other American celebrities.
Despite being the best known, Fiesta is not the only novel, nor even the first, which describes the Sanfermines. There is a wide range of Sanfermines literature written by authors of different nationalities and in many different genres.

Do not ask for who the phone rings. It rings for thee. The title (and background text) are adapted from a line in John Donne’s 1624 work ‘Devotions of Emergent Occasions’ which was famously borrowed by Ernest Hemmingway for the title of his 1940 book about the Spanish Civil War ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’. What it means exactly in this context is for me to know and you to find out. Melanie here also knows. But she’s not telling either.
‘Do not ask’ is an edition of 4 created on A2 Bockingford paper using the magic of spray paint, stencils, imagination, paint pen and smoke. Yes, actual smoke. Which can be difficult to control but is fun to use. They’re £150 each and are available on our Big Cartel page or by sliding into our DM’s…

La Maison et Musée d’Ernest Hemingway à Key West :
Ernest Hemingway a débarqué à Key West (au printemps 1928) avec sa deuxième femme Pauline, sur les conseils de John Dos Passos, autre membre de ce que l'on a appelé la "Génération perdue" (artistes et écrivains américains expatriés à Paris dans les années 1920). En déambulant dans les rues, on peut presque imaginer le style de vie de ce monstre sacré dans les années 1930, du temps d’un autre Key West, celui des parties de pêche, de la prohibition, des cargaisons pirates pour Cuba et de la tempête du siècle de 1935.
Après deux saisons passées à Key West, l’oncle de Pauline acheta, pour le jeune couple, la maison de Whitehead Street, pour 8000 dollars en 1931. La maison en pierre, de style franco-espagnol en vogue à la Nouvelle-Orléans, a été construite en 1851 par Asa Tift (architecte dans la marine et chasseur de trésors dans les épaves). Le domaine étant le deuxième point de sol le plus élevé de l'île de Key West, le calcaire à partir duquel la maison est construite a été excavé directement du sol sous la structure et taillé à la main, grâce à une main-d’œuvre constituée d’esclaves. L'électricité a été ajoutée vers 1899 et la plomberie vers 1944, lorsque Key West a reçu l'eau courante de Florida City. Avant cela, il fallait utiliser l'eau de pluie collectée dans deux réservoirs, l'un entre la maison principale et la remise et l'autre sur le toit de la maison principale.
La villa est à étage et entourée de balcons, avec des portes-fenêtres et de grands volets. La maison de Key West est composée de peu de pièces (mais relativement grandes). A l'abandon depuis 1889 le couple entrepris de grandes rénovations. Les Hemingway l'ont décorée de meubles venus d'Europe (notamment des antiquités espagnoles du XVIIIe siècle), de trophées rapportés de leurs safaris en Afrique ou de leurs parties de chasse dans l'Ouest américain. La collection de lustres a remplacé tous les anciens ventilateurs de plafond. Comme Ernest était également amateur d'art, vous pouvez voir une vue de l'église Saint-Paul peinte par l'artiste local Eugene Otto (sur le mur du fond du salon) et une grande lithographie montre Gregorio Fuentes (cuisinier et compagnon sur le bateau de pêche de Papa Pilar pendant plus de 20 ans). Dans la pièce en face du salon, il y a une chaise Cardinal en cuir rouge (près de la porte) qui aurait été utilisé comme accessoire dans la production de Broadway de La cinquième colonne. Dans cette atmosphère si particulière, un air de « Belle époque » plane dans l’air. Pour les fans de l’écrivain, on retrouve son fauteuil fétiche, d’anciennes photos personnelles de ses voyages autour du globe, et bien sûr sa machine à écrire Royal.

Depicting Hemingway
Man is not made for defeat
- The Old Man and the Sea
Yesterday, 30 July 2015, a buddy and I took a day trip, which turned out to be in excess of 350 miles (563 km). So, here are a few pics from that day trip, all shot with the Fuji X20.
Ernest Hemingway:
One morning in April, 1961, following electro-shock treatments at the Mayo Clinic, and back in Ketchum, Idaho, Mary (Hemingway’s fourth wife), "found Hemingway holding a shotgun". She called a local Ketchum physician, Dr. George Saviers, a long time personal friend, who sedated him and admitted him to the Sun Valley hospital; from there Hemingway was returned to the Mayo Clinic for more electro-shock treatments.
Hemingway was released in late June and arrived back home in Ketchum on June 30. Two days later, in the early morning hours of July 2, 1961, Hemingway "quite deliberately" shot himself with his favorite shotgun. He unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer of their Ketchum home, and with the "double-barreled shotgun that he had used so often it might have been a friend", he shot himself.
Mary called the Sun Valley Hospital, and a doctor quickly arrived at the house. Despite his finding that Hemingway "had died of a self-inflicted wound to the head", the story told to the press was that the death had been "accidental".
one of the founders of Magnum, he was born 100 years today, on Oct 22, 1913.

La Bodeguita del Medio was Ernest Hemingways bar in Havana for drinking mojitos...and they still serve a lot of mojitos there.
Antiques in Torcello , yes I need colors . It has been raining for a while and it drugs us here down. They call it “ Pineapple Express “ and I would tell them if this is pineapple than shove it up …. because we just had enough . So I went back to Venice , actually the island north of Venice – Torcello the oldest continuously populated region of Venetian Lagoon. Across from Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Church of Santa Fosca is this antiques shop and I just could not resist . I'm not big fun of cats I can sneeze just looking at the picture f one :-) but few , it's like furniture.
Just a side note - one of the most famous fans of the island’s decayed and contemplative charm was Ernest Hemingway who spent some time there in 1948, writing parts of “Across the River and Into the Trees”.
See where this picture was taken, Torcello , north of Venice , Italy [?]
Author Ernest Hemingway’s typewriter sits on the desk on the top floor of Finca la Vigia at San Francisco de Paula in Cuba. His most famous novels were written here including 'The Old Man and The Sea' and "A Farewell to Arms'. A portrait of Hemingway hangs above the bookcase.

The Hemingway home was built in 1851 in the Spanish Colonial style, and was constructed of native rock hewn from the grounds. The home was in great disrepair when it the Hemingways took ownership, but both Ernest and Pauline could see beyond the rubble and ruin, and appreciated the grand architecture and stateliness of the home. The massive restoration and remodeling was undertaken in the early 1930’s. The home is a the National Historical Landmark.
