Explanation

Salvador Dali painted The Persistence of Memory in 1931. Melting clocks drape over a dreamlike landscape. This surrealist image became world-famous.

Picasso painted Cubist works. Magritte and Miro were also surrealists but did not create this painting. Dali specialized in bizarre dream imagery.

The painting explores time and memory. Soft clocks suggest time is flexible. The work shows how time feels different in dreams.
