The Persistence of Memory is the work of the surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, made in 1931, which has become one of the most famous paintings in art history. It has been on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York since 1934.
It is also known as the Melting Hours Table among the people.
This painting, which is one of the most famous examples of Surrealism, has many artistic meanings. What do the melted clocks and the objects in the picture, reminiscent of the desert heat in the painting, without the concept of time, tell? Let's examine it in detail.
Molten Hours
Molten Hours represent elapsed time differently. These Dali watches have different markings as their indicators have melted, indicating a distorted concept of seconds. The time of memory is not the same as that of an ordinary watch. For example, a moment that happened a long time ago may be remembered recently, while yesterday may feel like it happened a long time ago. So real time is the time of the subconscious.
ants on the clock
The only clock that is not warped is the one that is upside down and has ants on it. Salvador Dalí did not like ants very much and used them as symbols of decay in his works. This shows how the painter despises the everyday object under surrealistic looks.
Painter's Portrait
The subjective concept of time was discovered by Dalí in this painting. The painter himself appears on the scene sleeping under a molten clock. The place of the dream is also the place where temporality takes over other realities. Dalí's search for the unconscious is reflected in the painting through his self-representation.
View
Amidst all the figurations and surreal representations, Salvador Dalí's painting offers us a view close to his home, corresponding to some coastal cliffs in Catalonia in the background.
