Accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity from Nicolas Descharnes (2019) Study for Stillness of Time", and original illustration for the lithographic series, "Time", published by Levine & Levine (1976) Scarcely in Art History does a symbol emerge which is more internationally recognized than the “Soft Watch”. The mere sight of a melted object is often enough to evoke thoughts of Spanish master Salvador Dali’s transcendent masterpiece “Persistence of Memory” (1931- Museum of Modern Art, New York) Our “Soft Watch” is a living, breathing organism. A quintessential Dalinian character, not a still-life. It floats in the foreground, pulsing with blood and sinewy muscle, the clear focal point which draws the viewer inward toward the vanishing perspective of the work.
