When was the Persistence of Memory painted?
The Persistence of Memory was painted in 1931. In the painting, Salvador Dalí depicts the fluidity of time through melting clocks, their forms inspired by Camembert cheese melting in the sun. The work is one of the most famous examples of the 20th-century avant-garde Surrealist movement. Explore a collection of Salvador Dalí art on 1stDibs.
