A 1931 oil painting by Creator/SalvadorDali, and emblematic of the {{surrealism}} movement. The painting depicts a dreamlike landscape where [[RealityIsOutToLunch reality does not work the same way]]: among other things, clocks and other solid objects appear to be melting, including one above a figure that doesn't seem to be human or animal. Dalí famously painted this when sleep-deprived; when asked if the painting was inspired by UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein's then-recent theory of relativity, he replied it was inspired by the sight of melting cheese.

Dalí returned to this concept with 1954's ''The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory'', which recreated the landscape (to a point) before distorting it further with new themes of quantum mechanics. He would also utilize the concept of melting clocks several more times. This painting, and melting clocks in general, are [[SmallReferencePools a popular choice for references to Dali himself or for surrealism as a whole]].
