The original painting that inspired Dali to create an interpretation of his own work, is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The work is on tour from time to time. A world wide tour took place in 2008. The Museum Comments: Time is the theme here, from the melting watches to the decay implied by the swarming ants. The monstrous fleshy creature draped across the paintings center is an approximation of Dalís own face in profile. Mastering what he called "the usual paralyzing tricks of eye-fooling," Dalí painted this work with "the most imperialist fury of precision," but only, he said, "to systematize confusion and thus to help discredit completely the world of reality." There is, however, a nod to the real: The distant golden cliffs are those on the coast of Catalonia, Dalís home.
As with Warhol, Picasso, Chagall and Miro, Dali works will become more and more difficult to obtain. The time to act is now! Contact me and request a free catalog and information about how to obtain this rare work. EMAIL DAN <--Click
