Salvador Dali-The Persistence of Memory

Salvador Dali- The Persistence of Memory

 I first came across this particular art piece in High School whilst browsing the internet for Artist Research for my GCSE. As my theme is time I thought it would be beneficial to me to research deeper into this piece the meaning behind some of the images depicted.

Upon doing this I came across a video of what seems to be recording the reactions younger children express when viewing this piece. Listing to this brought to my attention the fact that there is a face sort of hidden among all the chaos of the melting clocks,small tree and cliffs in the distance.I first looked at this piece purely because is contains clocks/time as a subject but I am fascinated my all the small images and details I have noticed.
