Title: Barge Haulers on the Volga

Artist: Ilya Repin 

Date: 1870-73

Location: State Russian Museum, St Petersburg 

Fun fact: The work is a condemnation of profit from inhumane labor. Although they are presented as stoical and accepting, the men are defeated; only one stands out: in the center of both the row and canvas, a brightly colored youth fights against his leather binds and takes on a heroic pose.

Title: The Persistence of Memory 

Artist: Salvador Dali

Date: 1931

Location: Museum of Modern Art, New York

Fun fact: It is possible to recognize a human figure in the middle of the composition, in the strange "monster" (with a lot of texture near its face, and lots of contrast and tone in the picture) that Dalí used in several contemporary pieces to represent himself – the abstract form becoming something of a self-portrait, reappearing frequently in his work.
