  Ford Madox Ford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ford Madox Ford (December 17, 1873 – June 26, 1939) was an English novelist and publisher.
Ford also wrote the tetralogy Parade's End (1924-1928), set in England and on the Western Front in World War I, where he served as an officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, a life vividly depicted in the novels.
Ford wrote dozens of novels as well as essays, poetry, memoir, and literary criticism, and collaborated with Joseph Conrad on two novels, The Inheritors (1901) and Romance (1903).

 Romance (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Literary collaboration was not particularly uncommon when Conrad proposed it to Ford, but neither was it considered the proper way for serious novelists, as Ford was aware: "The critics of our favoured land do not believe in collaboration.".
The writers’ wives were involved behind the scenes in the collaborations often to the despair of Ford, who omitted any mention of Jessie Conrad in his biography.
Horrors!” and again after a further bonding session Conrad wrote that Ford’s visit had left him “half dead and [he] crawled into bed for two days.” The effect of bonding was debilitating, if Conrad is not exaggerating, and even a cause of Conrad’s being driven to his bed for rest and recuperation.

 Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - Suffering In Paris - Drinks for The Cold Days
So much did Ford suffer that he devoted a great deal of his time to searching for what he called "an escape from the perpetual, inescapable grayness that dominates the city between the beginning of December and the end of February".
Like their brothers around the world, Parisian barmen are inventive creatures, and nearly every one that Ford met offered one suggestion or another.
Although Ford often drank a liter of Cognac and two or three bottles of wine every day during the four winters he lived in Paris, he never succeeded in finding a permanent cure for his sufferings.

 Ernest Hemingway Biography  ~  The Paris Years
John Hadley Nicanor Hemingway was born on October 10, 1923 and by January of 1924 the young family boarded a ship and headed back to Paris where Hemingway would finish making a name for himself.

The magazine lasted only a year and a half (until 1925), but allowed Hemingway to work out his own artistic theories and to see them in print in a respectable journal.

 Portraits In Fiction by A.S. Byatt - Reviewed by Ann Skea - Eclectica Magazine v6n1
Byatt, nevertheless, presents an interesting argument and illustrates it with examples of portraits in fiction and fictional writing about art from a wide range of work, including her own.
Amongst the authors and artists she discusses are Proust, Ford Maddox Brown, Ford Maddox Ford, Oscar Wilde, Emile Zola, Joyce Carey, Iris Murdoch, Holbein, Durer, Monet and Manet.
Rather spoiling her argument about the superiority of words, however, are the many beautiful reproductions of portraits which accompany the text and add to the attraction of the book.
