Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway (1899 - 1961) Ernest Hemingway was an American writer known for his classic novels such as For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Moveable Feast and The Sun Also Rises. Hemingway spent seven years in the 1920s living and writing in Paris alongside other ‘creatives’ such as Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, T.S. Elliot, Ezra Pound, Picasso, Man Ray, Salvador Dali and James Joyce.

I typed his portrait because of my enjoyment of his novel ‘A Moveable Feast’ about his early years in Paris. While spending time in Paris, I have gotten the feeling that I was walking in his shadow, as I spent time typing near the Medici Fountain at Luxembourg Garden and wandering around the cobblestone streets of the Latin Quarter.
