The persistence Of Memory Salvador Dali
‘’I don’t do drugs, I am drugs’’
Surrealist Imagery is relevant to today’s society. This artwork was created in 1931 and formed by the famous artist Salvador Dali. It’s Oil on canvas, 9 1/2 x 13" (24.1 x 33 cm). It is now placed in the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Surrealism means above and beyond reality. It shows weird, bizarre, dreamlike objects since surrealist artists enjoy depicting the nightmares, dreams and imagination that our human brain creates. The movement began in the 1920’s in Paris by a man named Sigmund Freud. Surrealism is used in contemporary society with a lot of advertisement. It is used to influence someone even more in purchasing a product.
Salvador Dali (5.11.1904 – 1.23.1989) was born in Figures, Spain. He is a Spanish artist that was best known for his painting, ‘‘The Persistence of Memory.’’ His striking and bizarre images are what caught peoples eye. Many of his paintings reflect his love of Port Lligat in Spain. He was never limited to a specific style or media.
The Persistence of Memory is a very popular and special piece of art. It was Dali’s theory of ‘’softness’’ and ‘’hardness.’’ The strange monster that lies on the floor is used in many of his artworks. It has one eye closed with several eyelashes, suggesting that the monster is also in a dream like state. The clocks symbolize the passing of time in a dream. The orange clock is covered by ants. Dali used ants often to represent decay.
In this portrait Dali uses lined techniques for shaping and building objects. Warm and cool colors are used in this portrait. This also brings out the tones. The texture is quite smooth and clean. There are circles, rectangles, triangles, and many shapes throughout this painting. It has a nice feeling of space and balance which helps bring out the contrast, rhythm and harmony by sharing it around. There isn’t really a focal point since there are things all over the place.
