Dali

 * Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali y Domenech was born on May 11, 1904 in Catalonia, Spain. Also named Salvador, he died of gastroenteritis on January 11, 1904.
 * Dali studied at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid where his handlebar mustache, long hair, sideburns and style of dressing that resembled menswear of the 1800's earned him a reputation as being eccentric.
 * The title is 'The Persistence of Memory'. It was not made in one day (this goes for most paintings.) It was first created on June13, 1931.
 * He was expelled from San Francisco School of Fine Arts in 1926.
 * It was Dalí's theory of "softness" and "hardness" which was central to his thinking at the time. This means to me that he wanted to show how relaxing this painting is.
 * I chose this painting because I liked the way the artist made the clocks melting. It symbolizes softness and I can connect to this because I am very mellow. I really look forward to making more pictures like this in computer animation.
