| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Just remembered that I have a photo that might fit Friday's theme. This is Salvador Dalí's sculpture from the series "Profile of Time" (1977-1984), with motive from his painting called "La persistencia de la memoria" or "Persistence of Memory" painted in 1931. Photo taken at the entrance to a private museum in Gourdon.
[The Persistence of Memory is one of the most celebrated and recognized paintings of the 20th century. The three “melting” or “soft” watches placed in the landscape of Dalí’s beloved Port Lligat have become nearly synonymous with Dalí’s name since they first helped to introduce mainstream American audiences to Surrealism in 1932. The painting’s combination of the everyday and the dreamlike, the symbolic and the irrational, nature and technology, and the Dalinian confusion of softness and hardness, accounts in part for its mass appeal, as it seems to both encourage and confound analysis and explanation. The painting’s watches are, as the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York once wrote, “irrational, fantastic, paradoxical, disquieting, baffling, alarming, hypnogogic, nonsensical and mad—but to the surrealist these adjectives are the highest praise”]. |

hi Latiff
I wonder how the time piece will work from this twist. Perhaps it will not, but just a visual presentation of the face of time piece. Anyway, this is a corner that did not escape your observation. Makes for an interesting feature.
tfs, bill
