Drawn by the Spanish artist, Salvador Dali’s Persistence of Memory, 1931, is an iconic surrealist painting. Salvador(1904-1989) described his paintings as “hand-painted dream photographs.” The seaside cliffs in the background, are inspired by Salvador’s Spanish home and are the only object painted with a sense of reality. A technique, Dali often used called “the usual paralyzing tricks of eye-fooling,” meaning, he took placed everyday objects such as ants and melting clocks and distorted in an unfamiliar way.
