(And here we all thought the melting timepieces were a Surrealistic flight of fancy. Ha! Not when the Heat Index is >100°F, Señor Dalí.)

This has always been one of my favorite Dali painting, more than the stairs, which gives me a headache.

I love the melting time, depending on point of view, they can mean almost anything.

(2) Park West Gallery says:

“The Persistence of Memory” may be Salvador Dali’s most recognized painting, but the artist also created a plethora of lesser-known, yet still fascinating images – notably the Divine Comedy and Biblia Sacra. Park West Gallery recently launched two “surreal” YouTube videos featuring the unique Dali imagery that comprises these collections. The videos provide an opportunity to enjoy Dali artwork in a truly unique way. Please check them out! http://www.youtube.com/ParkWestGallery
