Salvador Dali


Persistence
by 
Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali was one of the most well-known surrealist painters, his painting Persistence as seen above is widely well known. "He took over the Surrealist theory of automatism but transformed it into a more positive method which he named `critical paranoia'. According to this theory one should cultivate genuine delusion as in clinical paranoia while remaining residually aware at the back of one's mind that the control of the reason and will has been deliberately suspended."*
