Postmodernism in the Persistence of Memory

Salvador Dali's piece, the Persistence of Memory, was painted in 1931, yet is still an example of postmodernism. The abstract nature of Dali's style in this piece are glaring examples of postmodernism, despite the time period in which it was painted.
Dali's use of bent and melting clocks represent an unusual perception of time. This is postmodern because we usually think of time as something that is constant. However, Dali's painting shows that time is something that can altered. By altering this constant, the scene in this painting is not a true representation of reality.
Another postmodern effect that Dali uses in the Persistence of Memory is an animal-like figure that is lying in the center of the piece. This takes us out of our element by seeing something that we wouldn't see regularly, even in the right context. By this, I mean that you wouldn't see an animal like this in the real world, but in a postmodern world something like this might exist.
These abstract elements show how Dali's Persistence of Memory is a postmodern artwork.
