So far only this Spanish master was able to grab the conception of relative time by a metaphoric picture which doesn't change in time (not an animation). Although, even these works suggest some kind of movement, but the chief idea is to liquidate, turn, twist and blow the absolute metaphor of time, the clock, and thus communicate its 'unnatural nature' :). This is the original painting of Dalí, where the clock blows a good:

These are other works of art from his clock-era:


^ The persistence of memory ^

   
^ ^ Tear of Time
Treeclock ^
