Sempre que vejo plantas surgindo de rochas, penso na dificuldade que elas tiveram para brotar e se desenvolver em um suporte tão duro e aparentemente impenetrável. Morro da Conceição, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Coming up through the cracks in the pavement......
"They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to seem 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"
gotta love joni mitchell... :-)

In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water.
But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal.
That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly. - Lao Tze

The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dalí, Mexico City, February 2018
.
Wandering around the streets of Mexico City one can chance on the fascinating and unexpected. So it was that in February 2018 I came upon a collection of Salvador Dalí’s surrealist sculpture installed in a small park near the Zocalo.
.
Perhaps the most prominent surrealist of the 20th century (certainly the most well-known,) Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. Dalí, a skilled draftsman whose skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters (including Raphael, Bronzino, Vermeer and Velázquez), is best known for his striking and bizarre images. His best-known work, “The Persistence of Memory,” a surrealistic image of soft, melting pocket watches, was completed in August 1931. Dalí's expansive repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, sometimes in collaboration with other renowned artists including Picasso, Miró, Buñuel and Man Ray.
.
Dalí, also known for indulging in unusual, grandiose behavior, dismayed his admirers and critics alike, as his attention-grabbing public actions overshadowed his artwork. Yet in a strange twist of irony, Dalí once said, “There is no way I’m going back to Mexico. I can’t stand to be in a country that is more surrealist than my paintings.”
.
On the morning of January 23, 1989, while listening to his favorite record of Tristan and Isolde, Dalí died of heart failure.

My Dali Collection prints "Persistence of Time" Harmon embossed signature & 2 edges
New edition to my Salvador Dali collection.
This ones an "after" Dali lithograph.
I bought it because I wanted to get any of his prints that had this one graphic editors markings , especially the finger print shown.
It was one of three prints that came up on ebay a while ago (from the same seller) -
All of them had the finger print.
I actually was surprised to get this as cheap as I did as seller contacted me and sold it to me as a "second chance" offer.
I lost the auction but he sold it at my 2nd highest bid price.
The graphic editor ( Harmon) got Dali's finger print after Dali could no longer sign prints due to his illness , before death and used them to allegedly authenticate the lithographs.
Actually this shouldn't be considered an "original" Dali litho as I am sure he didn't do anything as far as the production of it ,
including allowing the size changes or additional images added to the original "Persistence of Memory"
