The Persistence of Memory
Salvador Dali's most famous painting,
The Persistence of Memory was completed in
1933. Originally begun as a landscape of the
Spanish shore, Dali was moved to include the famous melting-clock imagery after a dream he had following a snack of Camembert cheese - the clocks, therefore, have the texture of the soft cheese.
The Persistence of Memory is currently on display in the
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in
New York City.
