Eureka! Your Salvador Dali Society, Inc. blogger has suddenly come up with an entirely new interpretation of Dali’s iconic and immortal “soft watch!” This is a historical moment, so hold onto your surreal seats, dear readers, as I don’t know – as a Dali historian and writer, who’s studied the artist’s work and life for more than 45 years – if this interpretation has ever quite been stated before:
The dripping, melting watch suggest that time is running out!
Like an ice cube, let’s say, that drips, drips, drips to oblivion, so too does the reality of life mean that, with every ticking second, time is running out. Life is running out. Our time here is finite, short, precious, ever-changing, ever-shortening!
And, of course, interpretation gets supplanted by fact when we consider this: Salvador Dali’s soft watch motif has made for not only his most universally famous painting, “The Persistence of Memory” of 1931, but also arguably the single most famous work of art of the entire 20th century.
So here, a single watch, flopped over a tree branch…dripping…melting…forms the basis for one of Salvador Dali’s most important sculptural pieces. DaVinci had his Mona Lisa. Warhol had his soup cans. Dali – his remarkable watches. Said Dali: Hard or soft, the principal thing is that the watch gives the exact time.”
Astonishing fact: Dali didn’t wear a watch. Not only did he not need to know himself what time it was – he had others to depend on for that – but it may be entirely true that he didn’t quite know how to tell time! Just as he had no real concept of what a particular denomination of money was worth.
Such is the unique life of geniuses.
When I’m traveling far from home
I can feel you’re still around
And the dream
Overtakes me
Then I know
You’ll stay in this moment
We’ll go where it’s flowing
You’ll be what you want to be
Right here, with me
So I am counting backwards as I prepare for my ultimate departure from the US.
I am turning on my cerebral button that says tourist mode.
First stop: The Museum of Modern Art.
Salvador Dali still speaks to me so eloquently.
The Persistence of Memory.
I couldn't resist taking a picture of someone taking a picture of the only painting in the museum (on display) by my favorite artist.
"push pin" persistence of memory [tribute to salvador dali]
perhaps the greatest painting of the 20th century certainly the painting that launched the highly influential surrealist movement. the "in" joke is "don't you mean persistence of vision" which is one of the fine artists most important tools. by relying on "persistence of vision" and the brain's desire to make sense of an image artists are able to realize incredible effects including unbelievable realism and romanticism like renoir or bold statements like andy warhol. just love dali's great painting. big surprise. it's actually a small 7x7 canvas with a lot of diagonal lines and false perspective. it is "gibralter" and not some nameless presqu'il. the "pig skin" is an unbelievable counterpoint to the otherworldly landscape and images. the "twig" is yet again the only rational element yet burned to death. perspective continues ad nauseum. the experience is beyond belief. "is that really a painting"?
from his most famous work, The Persistence of Memory, the melting clocks have become an icon of his hand. Salvadore Dali was an artistic genius.
I took this photo in Venice years ago at the most comprehensive Dali exhibition I have ever seen. My camera was only allowed this far inside.

Think about how much time we waste on a day, which later becomes weeks, months, and years.
Cherish time, it is golden.

i have a pre-WWII edition cell phone with very limited memory (and even less functionality). after a certain number of text messages, it threatens to not allow any new ones to come in until i have deleted some older ones. and that's actually a good thing. i have to be very mindful of what i banish. and what i preserve.
