Upon first glance, The Persistence of Memory displays several principles of design as well as several elements of art. The first word that rushed into my mind was that this piece has form and an eye-catching, three-dimensional design. The…
1. Fr. Walter Cizek faced many trials throughout his many years in Soviet Russia. Among the most testing of these trials were his years spent at the prison in Lubianka, being interrogated as a “Vatican spy.” Kept in isolation and left to his thoughts for years on end, he often turned to God and bible passages for support. However, even after all his prayer; he still fell to an interrogator’s methods. Turning once more to more fervent prayer, he comes to a realization that he had been praying all the wrong things. He recalls Jesus in the garden of Olives before his crucifixion, how he let God’s will be done. From then on, he strived to live following that principle in all things he did.…

Ricky Swallow is a contemporary Australian sculptor whose works address the issues of our modern generation and technology which engulfs it, not only youth but adults. Swallow’s works are ironically humorous however are also tempered by issues of human transformation. His works combine symbols which the audience is accustomed to however they are manipulated to convey deeper meanings. ‘I am an artist interested in the longevity of things’ he claims which is supported through works such as iMan Prototypes and Come Together. In iMan Prototypes Swallow plays on the idea that technology and the dependence on it which society holds, leading to long term problems or death, symbolised by the skulls. The skulls in his work resemble iMac computers through their colour, translucent texture and features. As the iMac computer is a symbol recognised by many in this western culture, the audience is drawn in and obliged to reflect on the work. Swallow’s intentions behind the works are blatantly presented as he sculpts the most iconic part of the iMac computer into the back of the skull, taking the place of our brain. Through his positioning of vital features, Swallow successfully proves society’s addiction to technology and forces the question to be asked, where would we be without it?…

As other surrealistic paintings, “The Persistence of Memory” challenges the notion of reality. The world depicted in the picture is definitely not the reality familiar to people, but it is rather a dream that a person might have. The painting combines solid objects with melting clocks, and it can leave viewers wondering whether clocks are clearly unreal or, giving the situation, if solid objects are, in fact, more likely to be unreal. Thus, Dali in “The Persistence of Memory” questions the very concept of reality and embraces the higher reality. Besides, the painting reflects an expression of an unconscious truth. This truth is represented by the clocks. They are soft and it seems that they are melting off the solid objects; therefore, it can represent the relativity of time. In the reality, people seem to learn to control time: with clocks, dates, years, hours, and minutes. Moreover, time is a very important concept in the reality because everything that happens can be assigned a specific time period. However, in Dali’s understanding, time is relative, thus, surreal. Accordingly, it may be argued that Dali has reached the individual…
Humans can come to a state of realisation through the fact that memory can be something that is possible to be flaw. An individual’s current emotions, opinions or understanding on their past experienced event can influence them to change their memory of that event, thus re-writing the history of their personal lives. This same fault can also coincide with the flaws that occur in the documentary evidence of history, which influences memory.…
Individual’s often feel compelled to an empirical representation of past events, this is evident as Mark Baker, a man who predominately believes in precision and order which is conveyed as he “collects his memories in colour coded photo albums” so it is obvious that he has an assumption that History unlocks the past and contains all the answers in his search for the absolute truth. Furthermore, the confession that Mark “believed the soviet records more than his own mother” which was hard for the composer to accept, due to the fact that Mark feels compelled to believe the empirical representation of events rather than the figurative/ emotional…
The breaking down of the original elements of Dali’s first painting and showing them all in an equivalent state of disintegration, and the surreal beauty of the original image being invaded by these unique geometric shapes are just part of the painting’s incredible appeal. In this way, The Disintegration of The Persistence of Memory works not only as a deconstruction of Dali’s own previous work and his attitudes, but as a beautiful painting itself, a way to compensate for his loss of surrealism by absorbing and illustrating the uniqueness of the universe in the form of very pleasing and fascinating shapes and symbols like the melting clocks.…
