One piece of art that really inspires me is Salvador Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory. Salvador Dalí was an artist of many surrealist ideas. He painted during World War II and so much of his work reflected war time conflicts.This specific piece of art inspires me because it is based off of Einstein’s theory of relativity which relates to gravity distorting time. This painting, being Dalí’s most famous artwork, has been viewed by many, as well as interpreted by many. To me it is an idea of time being present in the most inopportune moments. The golden cliffs in the background are seen as the past, for Dalí that was his homeland in Spain. The drapes that seem to be covering a body of some sort can be seen as the presents. It all melts together with time. For me, the poetry to this painting is extremely inspiring in the cliché idea of time is forever changing.
