Dali was born in Spain in 1904 in an area known as Figueres, Spain. Dali's very early work was mainly charcoal drawings influenced by the artist Ramon Pichot. Overtime Dali started to get a great deal of recognition after adopting a style which he coined Cubism.

Everything about Dali was artistic including his appearance. Dali wore a handlebar moustache that he often modelled in different ways. There is even a famous photograph of flowers attached to the end of his moustache.
Dali was influenced by several things such as the famous painters Picasso and Raphael. As his own style evolved he became well known for his surreal illustrations. His utilization of timepieces in his pictures has influenced clock manufacturers to develop melting clocks which often can be placed on shelves drooping downwards. They are well-liked and available from many merchants.
The Salvador Dali melting clock is from The Persistence of Memory (novel). The melting clock is in the painting by Salvador Dali and is amongst his most well-known pieces. It was painted in 1931. The painting was first shown inside the Julien Levy Gallery in 1932. Since 1934 the art work continues to be shown in the museum of Modern Art in New York, where it's one of the more popular exhibits.
The image represents a soft melting pocket watch. The melting watch is said to illustrate Dali's theory of 'hardness' and 'softness' this was part of his thinking at this stage in his career. It was thought at the time that Dali's creativity originated from Albert Einstein's theory of Relativity. However when Salvador Dali was asked about this, Dali declared that actually the soft watches or clocks were not influenced by Einstein's theory but by the surrealist imagination of 'Camembert cheese melting in the sun.'
It is said that the human figure in the centre of the art work is actually Dali himself. The abstract nature of the painting became something of a self-portrait. He often did this on his other works. The orange decorated clock in the bottom left hand corner has ants upon it. Dali painted ants to symbolise dying in his paintings.
The figure in the heart of the piece of art symbolizes a 'fading' animal. This is said to display that in dreams, the dreamer can't generally recognize the composition or form of a creature. The animal in the artwork has lots of eyelashes and one closed eye possibly showing the animal is also in a dream state. The painting could be interpreting Dali's dreams where the timepieces show the passing of time as one experiences it throughout sleep, or how dreams might feel to us.
The jagged rocks on the right hand side of the art work is based on the end of Cap de Creus peninsula within the north of Catalonia. In a great many other of his works you can see creativity of Catalonia landscapes which inspired him. The darkish shadow in the background of the painting is reference to Mount Pani.
In 1954 Dali returned to his famous painting the Persistence of Memory with the Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory. This revealed his earlier renowned painting breaking up into fragments, together with an assortment of rectangular shapes with breaks in between and more melting clocks.
Also in1954 Dali created another renowned stop-watch piece of art titled 'Soft Watch at Moment of First Explosion' showing a soft watch breaking up. With pieces of watch and debris close to the watch it gives the look its disintegrating. The painting was a lot like the 'Persistence of Memory' with the back ground being a desert and sea scape. In this picture the clock dominates the artwork with the stopwatch sagging over a block shape.
In the 1970's Dali began creating a range of clock timepiece creations. Each including clock faces. They include the usual melting time clock face. 'Stillness of Time' which was created in 1979 shows a golden rimmed clock with a flexible, bendy clock. The clock is apparently wearing some kind of crown; interestingly the clock has tree branches and roots. Dali created a similar piece called 'Tearful soft watch Giclee' displaying a stop watch hung over a leafless tree.
