The Persistence of Memory Salvador Dali Surrealism MOMA

The Persistence of Memory is a 1931 painting by artist Salvador DalĂ­, and is one of his most recognizable works. The painting has been in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City since 1934. It is widely recognized and frequently referenced in popular culture, TV, Film, print etc. The original also inspired the 1974 limited edition interpretation that adds a 4th clock to the original image and was referred to by Dali as "the clock of imortality" Here are images of both the original and the hand signed limited edition print as well.

great blog for Dali friends. Key to Salvador Dali’s art is his pursuit of concretization of dreams. This involves a credible breach in the civilizational habit of taking reality as fixed entity. Art such as this has to be hyper real in details. This exactness of minute attributes is fraught with danger as modern art abhors photo-realism and definitely the spatial illusion is a raging anathema in the canon of modern art. This is a testimony to ‘freakish talent’ of Dali that he pulled off the audacious artistic coup of ‘renaissance like modern art’.
