When we talk about Dali, the first thing which comes to our mind is the painting "the persistence of memory", indeed it is one of the most popular paintings of Dali. The Dali Museum in Figueres has been lucky to present the painting in its building for an exchange with the Museum of Modern Art of New York.

The painting represents a Catalan deserted landscape where the time seems to be stopped. It must be the Cap of Creus in Portlligat, close to Figueres, city in which Dali lived. The laxness of the watches which trickle down could mean that the time is flexible, furthermore no watch is on time. Or Dali wanted maybe represent the ephemera, the fear of the time, in a world always stressed and hurried by the time and the deadlines.
