The Persistence of Memory
One of Salvador Dali's most recognizable works
Scholars call "Persistence of Memory" the epitome of Dali's theory of "softness and hardness", a rejection of time being rigid or deterministic. When Dali himself was asked about the painting, he replied: "The soft watches were not inspired by the theory of relativity, but by the surrealist perception of a Camembert cheese melting in the sun".
Dali created "Persistence of Memory" in 1931 and the original has been in the collection at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York City since 1934.

I have many books on Dali and his artwork. Some I have bought, some others have bought for me, but I was given this book as a gift, and I love it. I have decided that I do not need any of the other books on him, this one has all the famous pieces and more, some of the pictures I never even knew that he had created. Plus it is very informative.
This is an amazing book, I would recommend anyone interested in surrealism to buy this book, for its price, it is a steal!
