The Persistance of Memory

This painting was made by Salvador Dali, who happens to e one of my favorite artists. He creates depth by making the foreground extremely dark in comparison to the background. He uses bright colors, not many hues, most saturated. The color blue is recurring in the painting. The clocks in the painting seem to be malting and one is hanging from a tree. It seems to put an eerie spin on the element of time, challenging the very existence of it. Dali painted the picture in 1931. With this painting, Dali introduced challenges of accepted concepts and new parallel ways of thinking.
