The persistence of memory by Dali focuses entirely on the idea of truth. Specifically what is true about our memory. The folded clocks, loose shapes, blurred lines all point to a misunderstanding of memory. In this case, memory can be related to truth. There is nothing from this painting that can be related to real life. The truth of this painting is that there is no absolute truth when it comes to the past and memory.Thinking and remembering can be altered to fit the criteria of the memory the person wants to remember.
In this way, this painting truly describes what Postmodernism feels about truth.There is no absolute truth. Especially in the case of memory, truth is relative. It changes with each person, each entity. The guidelines of specific times and set rules do not exist because of the relativity of our world.
Do you work out?
ReplyDeleteAgain, use examples. The painting is staring the viewer in the face and you don't refer to a single element of it. Lack of depth, lack of analysis. What do you mean by a "misunderstanding of memory?"
