The Persistence of Memory (1931), Salvador Dali.
The well-known surrealistic piece introduced the image of the soft
melting pocket watch. It epitomizes Dali's theory of 'softness' and
'hardness', which was central to his thinking at the time.
The Ascension of Christ by Salvador Dali,
Dali said that his inspiration for The Ascension of Christ came from a "cosmic dream" that he had in 1950, some eight years before the painting was completed. In the dream, which was in vivid color, he saw the nucleus of an atom, which we see in the background of the painting.
