ERNEST HEMINGWAY-FISHING ON PILAR W GREGORIO 1957 ILLUSTRATION Q
So i just bought this 1957 watercolor painting/illustration that features Ernest Hemingway fishing with a Penn reel (and Yes- in the Kennedy library its confirmed that Hemingway used Penn later in life- Sometimes). He is on the Pilar with Gregorio Fuentes- same shirt, watch, hat, etc as he has been pictured in while filming the Old Man & The Sea... the first - Spencer Tracy version, partially in Cabo Blanco... This was painted by 20th century Illustrator A. Harris Moorimack. I'm sure i've seen this is a Magazine before- BUT I'm trying to find it! anyone recognize this?
Thanks! daniel z

That's great. Always wondered if Hemingway used Penn reels. My friend Ray from Brisbane always felt that he did. Thank you for sharing this.

Here is Ernest Hemingway while filming the Old Man & The Sea (with Spencer Tracy) this is the look i believe the artist was going for, though made Hemingway look a bit younger. Note, Shirt, Watch, Hat etc.. I'm still trying to find the publication this painting was in, I'm almost certain it was a magazine article... any clues appreciated.
