THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY.
In 1931, Dalí painted one
of his most famous works, The Persistence of Memory, which introduced a surrealistic image
of soft, melting pocket watches. The
general interpretation of the work is that the soft watches are a rejection of
the assumption that time is rigid or deterministic. This idea is supported by other images in the work, such
as the wide expanding landscape, and other limp watches shown being devoured by
ants.
