Salvador Dalí is and forever will be my favourite artist...I think it's because of his eccentricity as a person himself, shown through his surrealist work, whether captured through drawing, film, sculpture, or photography. He was born in Figueres, Spain on May 11, 1904 and is best known for his bizarre images and his twisted perception's of reality.
I don't know what stands out to me more... His integration of the natural space with distorted objects or he himself, an absolute nut case!
Either way his works totally mad and should be seen by all.
The Persistence of MemoryPainted in 1931, this piece is one of Dalí's most famous works taking on a surrealistic image of soft, melting pocket watches. My interpretation, although yours may be different, is that the watches are a rejection of the assumption that time is rigid and deterministic. The ants, seemingly attacking the orange clock perhaps indicate our anxiety with time. The painting is nothing more than a collection of ideas to do with the interpretation of dreams, perception of reality, time, birth, death and sexual desire.
I just think it looks pretty rad! Would look pretty damn cool hanging on the wall at home.
"There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad."
