Dali - Persistence of Memory Poster 36" x 24"

This poster of 'Persistence of Memory' by Salvador Dalí is perfect for any art history fan. Easily recognized as perhaps his most famous painting, 'Persistence of Memory' effectively captures Dalí's unique, fluid perspective. Created in 1931, this painting was first displayed is year or so after its creation and has lived at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City since 1934. This iconic piece depicts melting clocks in a surreal, dream-like landscape. While critics throughout the years have grasped at what Dalí could have meant to portray with this piece, he once simply responded that the melting clocks were inspired by melting wheels of cheese. 

Salvador Dalí is a famous surrealist painting master who lived most of his life in Spain between 1904 and 1989. Known for his peculiar and eccentric lifestyle, Dalí was encouraged to express himself very early on by his mother and would pursue more advanced artistic training as he grew older. He initially studied classic art techniques like impressionism and Renaissance-era works but soon discovered more modern, avant-garde art practices like cubism and surrealism. Today Dalí is considered to be one of the greatest surrealist artists of the 20th century.
