Profile of Time

Bronze

This sculpture is reminiscent of Dalí’s painting The Persistence of Memory (1931) in which the famous melting watch first appears. Draped over the tree, the melted watch transforms into a human profile and emphasizes the never-ending relationship between humanity and time. This extraordinary 20th century artist is known the world over as a Surrealist, a grand master of provocation, a virtuoso of the eccentric, and an expert in the world of mystical eroticism. Dali knew how to interpret the subconscious and coined the famous phrase “paranoia critique”, a concept that he would use to define his art.
