    Dali’s Transition from Surrealism to Reality One of the most fascinating of Salvador Dali’s later works is 1954s The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory‚ a direct continuation of Dali’s 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory. Offering a darker interpretation of this earlier work‚ Disintegration features a flooded version of the original landscape‚ many of the original elements breaking down and literally disintegrating. Much of these changes in the makeup and composition of the painting
