The Persistence of Memory Reproduction Painting

More About Salvador Dali’s The Persistence Of Memory

The more you look at The Persistence of Memory, the more surreal it gets.

Ants, a recurring element in Dali’s work, are attacking the watch like a bunch of crows feeding on dead meat.

Clocks appear so soft that they hang from trees like a skinned piece of leather.

Abnormally familiar creature lying on the ground with its long lashes and an insect-like element oozing from his nose. All these visuals add disturbance to the painting.

Time seems to have lost all its meaning sending you in a dreamscape, a confusion discrediting the real.

As a matter of fact, this painting also goes by the name Soft Watches or Melting Clocks. It is known that Dali was addicted to using a process called the “paranoiac critical method” in which he deliberately provoked hallucinations to create art.

He stated that the idea of painting a melting clock was inspired by a hallucination he had after eating Camembert Cheese.

The creature lying down might as well be a reflection of his own self. Yet another element which was seen in his other painting, The Great Masturbator.

The motive was to display the “greater reality” of the subconscious mind.

Dali was heavily influenced by Freudian concept of dream and he mastered the hallucinations in form of surrealist paintings.

But he could get as imaginary as he wanted, and our artists would still be capable of replicating even the slightest of intricacies.
