Salvador Dali's 1931 work, The Persistence of Memory is a surrealistic masterpiece.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salvador Dali's 1931 work, The Persistence of Memory is a surrealistic work in that it derives heavily from the unconscious or the dreams of its maker.

Salvador Dali's seminal work features a poignant metaphor for the time he was making the work in.

The melting clock showcases the persistence of memory throughout time as if it is as fresh as the events it is relating and when it was formed.

It also shows the fluidity of time in the minds of the modern people who were growing up in a world where the transience of time was new reality and not the strict chronology of the past.
