History
say that Dali was a little out of it.Yes, he suffered from paranoid syndrome.But without it, there would not be given as an artist.His case is easy delirium, manifested in the appearance in the minds snovidnyh obrazovozareny that the artist could be transferred to the canvas.Thoughts visited Dali during the creation of the paintings have always been bizarre (not for nothing that he was interested in psychoanalysis), and a vivid example - the story of the emergence of one of his most famous works, "The Persistence of Memory" (New York, Museum of Modern Art).It was the summer of 1931 in Paris, where Dali was preparing for the solo exhibition.After seeing civil wife Gala with friends in the movie, "I, - he wrote in his memoirs Dali - back to the table (we finished dinner excellent Camembert) and lost in thought about spreading the pulp.Before my mind's eye, there was cheese.I got up and, as usual, went to the workshop - to look at the big picture before going to bed, which he wrote.It was a landscape of Port Lligat in transparent sad sunset light.In the foreground - the bare skeleton of olives with broken branches.
I felt that in this picture, I was able to create an atmosphere in tune with some important ways - but what?I have not the foggiest idea.I had a marvelous image, but I did not find.I went to turn the light off, and when I came out, literally saw the solution: two pairs of soft hours, they pitifully hanging from a branch of olives.Despite the headache, I have prepared a palette, and got to work.Two hours later, return to the Gala, the most famous of my paintings was finished. "

Ed.).My answer to you is negative, the point is that the relationship of space and time for a long time for me was absolutely obvious, so there is nothing special about this film for me was not, it was the same as any other ... To this I might add that I have a lot ofthought of Heraclitus (Greek philosopher, who believed that the passage of time is measured by thought. - Approx.

"According to Daly, the dream frees the unconscious, so the head of the artist spreads as a clam - is evidence of his defenselessness.Only the Gala, he would say after the death of the spouse, "knowing my vulnerability, my hide otshelnichyu oyster flesh in a fortress-shell, and that has kept".

Ed.).The clock on the left, the only surviving hardness, ants also create a clear cyclic structure obeying the divisions chronometer.However, this does not obscure the meaning that the presence of ants though - a sign of expansion. "According to Dali, linear time devours itself.

Ed.) ... It's frozen, rearing explosion cloud in all its countless guises, all new andnew - is only slightly change the angle of view. "
(8) Sea Dali symbolized immortality and eternity. artist considered it an ideal space for travel where time does not flow with the objective speed, and in accordance with the internal rhythms of the mind of the traveler.
