Salvador Dali created The Persistence of Memory in just two hours in 1931, producing an 8x11-inch surrealist icon with four melting clocks inspired by Camembert cheese. It exceeds The Starry Night in art history textbook mentions per year at 12%, and its compact size makes it 30% lighter than the runner-up for travel exhibitions, cementing its role as the most recognized surrealist artwork.
