The Persistence of Memory, c.1931 Prints by Salvador Dalí at AllPosters.com

Symbolism abounds in the eerie, melting images of pioneering Surrealist artist Salvador Dali’s most famous work, “The Persistence of Memory.” Creating “hand-painted dream photographs,” Dali (1904 – 1989) portrayed fantastic visions made believable through expert rendering. Captivated by scientific breakthroughs Dali, though always evasive on theories of the painting’s meaning, may have been illustrating Einstein’s theory that time is relative, and not fixed.

Flamboyant and groundbreaking Spanish artist Salvador Dali is considered one of the 20th century’s greatest artists. An icon of the Surrealist movement his blend of eccentric perspectives and controversial influences resulted in wildly imaginative, unforgettable dreamscapes that are uniquely Dali. Inspired by Freud, Dali accessed his subconscious to create more intense artistic expression. Creatively prolific, he produced 1,500 paintings, along with sculptures, drawings, films, clothing and jewelry.

This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability.

I hung this in the kitchen, to the right of my cabinets and counter. It added color & design to the room, a main focal point. Good deal for the price, but I wish it had its own adhesives! Luckily, I'd bought a larger poster the same night and it had extra, so I used them to hang this, too. It would look better with a frame, that would get 5 stars instead of 4. Paper quality isn't top-notch, but it's good enough for a kitchen!
