The painting The Persistence of Memory,Ó of great evocative power, is one of renowned artist Salvador Dali's masterpieces. In an allusive & symbolic way, the painter indicates the creative, conscious memory through the pocket watch & the ants that move about on it, & the unconscious memory through the limpness of the watches, which show no exact time. The painting thus describes the mnestic oscillations between the highs & lows of wakefulness & sleep. This volume includes full-color reproductions of paintings by Dali, as well as text. Also includes a chronological reading of Dali's principal works; documents & testimonies on Dali; a chronology of his life; a list of museums where Dali's paintings can be seen; & a bibliography.Zeri, Federico is the author of 'Dali : The Persistence of Memory: One Hundred Paintings', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756771942 and ISBN 0756771943.
