What is Salvador Dalí's most famous painting called?
1 Answer

Salvador Dalí's most famous painting is called The Persistence of Memory. It depicts the fluidity of time through melting clocks, their forms inspired by Camembert cheese melting in the sun. The piece embodies Dalí's use of hyperrealism in conveying Surrealist symbols and concepts that subvert accepted notions of reality. The Spanish artist produced the painting in 1931, and today it is a part of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Salvador Dalí art.
