Master Artist: Salvador Dalí

Time Era of Production: The painting "The Persistence of Memory" was created in 1931 during the Surrealist period. Dalí was heavily involved in the Surrealist movement, which emerged in the early 20th century.

Training: Dalí received formal art training and was skilled in various artistic techniques. He was heavily influenced by Renaissance masters and Surrealist ideas. His unique style and imaginative approach set him apart in the art world.

Impact on the Art World: The melting clocks in "The Persistence of Memory" have become an iconic symbol of Surrealism. This painting, along with Dalí's body of work, challenged traditional perspectives on reality and time. His contributions to Surrealism and his ability to evoke the subconscious mind through dream-like imagery had a profound impact on the art world. Dalí's influence continues to inspire artists exploring the realms of the subconscious and the unconventional in art.
