We are always sighing for rapidly fluid time. Without any sense, time flies silently. It takes away nothing and hardly makes any change from our vision. Nevertheless, we will find that our faces no longer rosy; the surface of the favorite cup no longer fine and smooth; our parents no longer healthy...It is seemingly that all the things go changeable great in the twinkling of an eye. A gifted surrealism artist was once sensitive on ruthless time and created an exquisite oil painting focused on such topic. The painting is The Persistence of Memory, and its painter is Salvador Dali.
The Persistence of Memory depicts some images of soft melting pocket watches hanging on the branches of trees. Lots of viewers are supersized and curious at such images. Dali express his opinion on time in surrealism manner oriented on the theory of "softness" and "hardness". And he interpreted this oil painting like this:” The soft watches are an unconscious symbol of the relativity of space and time, a Surrealist meditation on the collapse of our notions of a fixed cosmic order". Although it is an abstract oil painting, viewers can see the connotation of it easily.
Except for this one, Salvador Dali had created several other oil paintings on the theme of time. As a surrealism painter, Dali's oil painting art is not too absurd. He has made great contribution to popular culture.
