　The painting shows soft melting pocket watch on a dry and desert ground and some on the tree branches. He uses dark and dull colors to compliment the dry and isolated area. The artist uses oil paint and smooth textures to paint. The lines in the work are very clear and smooth to be able to see the items. There are irregular and weird shapes. I am drawn by the awkward-looking pocket watches as it looks funny. I feel a depressed mood from the painting as it is very dark and empty. I like the artwork as it is extremely unique and there seems to be great meanings behind it.

  Compare and Contrast:(The persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali)and (The painter and his time by Andre Masson)

  Compare and Contrast:(The persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali)and (The painter and his time by Andre Masson)

 The drawing "The painter and his time" uses bright colors like yellow constantly.The items in this drawing are more close to each other unlike " The persistence of Memory" where the items are quite far apart. Also, there are less shadows and resulting in the drawing to be more 2D.
