Product Information

Dali’s The Persistence of Memory has remained iconic throughout many art eras and remains among the most recognizable paintings in pop culture.

The Persistence of Memory (Spanish: La persistencia de la memoria) is a 1931 painting by artist Salvador Dalí, and one of his most recognizable works. Munch’s body is poised between the domineering clock and geometric-patterned bed, with a brightly-lit, lively looking space behind him. It is widely recognized and frequently referenced in popular culture, and sometimes referred to by more descriptive (though incorrect) titles, such as "Melting Clocks", "The Soft Watches" or "The Melting Watches".When asked about the limp watches, the artist compared their softness to overripe cheese saying that they show “the camembert of time”. The shadow intersects with notches indicating the hours and quarters of the hour marked on the glass, giving an approximate time. Choosing a sand clock tattoo is a distinctive way of showing that time is finite and every minute is vital.

If you love the traditional idea of a rose and clock tattoo but want to do something to modernize it, choosing a different flower is a great way to rejuvenate a classic. Coinciding with Salvador Dalí’s weird revolution were great leaps by Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. No art movement is detached from the world around it; whether the artists like it or not, their works are a response to what is happening outside of their easels. It was said that Dalí’s primary reason for using such an empty setting was to create a clear visual space for the surreal story that was unfolding.

A cracked or broken clock can symbolize rebelling against time itself – by smashing the clock, you’re refusing to partake in a time-measuring system. If the clock motif is fascinating to you, consider going big with a black and gray sleeve featuring multiple clocks and symbols like wings, banners, roses, and anchors.

Traditional tattoos contain bright colors with bold lines; dress it up with other timeless symbols like anchors, skulls, flowers, swallows, nautical stars, or a banner.The material on this site can not be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, cached or otherwise used, except with prior written permission of Solid Ventures, Inc.
