Dance Of Time I, II, III.

The melting watch is the most well-known and beloved of Dalí's iconic images; the fluidity of time is represented in this sculpture as time not only moving, but dancing in rhythm to the beat of the universe. Universal time knows no limits; it must be remembered that time, as we understand it, is a human notion. Instead, Dalínian time is perpetual and 'dances on' - stopping for no man, history or even the cosmos. This image is depicted in three different forms: Dance of Time I, II and III.

These sculptures echo Dalí's famous 1931 painting 'The Persistence of Memory' in which the famous melting watch appeared for the first time. The draping of the melting face dances in the wake of time. Dalí became obsessed with the flow of time and used his melting watch image in many of his works. The unexpected softness of the watch represents the psychological aspect whereby the speed of time, whilst precise in its scientific use, can vary greatly in human perception.
