The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí; Circa 1931; Medium: Oil on Canvas; Current Location: The Museum of Modern Art. The perfect example of a classic Surrealist painting, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali aims to confuse viewers and discredit completely the world of reality. In this painting, time loses all meaning. Along with the clocks, Dali incorporates ants, an ocean, cliffs, a sunset, a dead tree and a side profile of Dali himself.
