I wanna write the sound of a painting by Dali?

I would not.

Hmmm an interesting question. Dali had many different kinds of paintings I think, do you have a few specific ones in mind? Needs really pure sound no matter what, no distortion or whatnot, but what else, I know he loved symbolism. You say write the sound? What written form do you mean, I was just assuming you meant a song but I could be wrong?

The five senses are made possible by very different types of receptors, so while the eyes pick up ultraviolet radiation, the nose uses a lock and key mechanism which appears to be much simpler. So you could try to relate one sense to another but it's a bit difficult since you have to translate a physiological response into words. As the old Japanese saying goes: "one can't describe the taste of puffer fish to one's who has never had it," even accurately describing a taste is difficult so think about describing the "sight of a touch, or the smell of a sound." The persistence of memory is my favorite Dali piece, you should look at one of his pictures and then write what you feel or think about the picture. This kind of poetry is called ekphrastic (spelling?).

"The well-known surrealistic piece introduced the image of the soft melting pocket watch. It epitomizes Dalí's theory of 'softness' and 'hardness', which was central to his thinking at the time.

Although fundamentally part of Dalí's Freudian phase, the imagery predicts his transition to the scientific phase, which occurred after the dropping of the atomic bomb in 1945.

It is possible to recognize a human figure in the middle of the composition, in the strange "monster" that Dalí used in several period pieces to represent himself - the abstract form becoming something of a self portrait, reappearing frequently in his work. The orange clock at the bottom left of the painting is covered in ants. Dali often used ants in his paintings as a symbol for death.

In general the tree means life, but, in this case, it has the same function as the rest of the elements in the picture: to impress anxiety and, in a certain way, terror, although it is likely that it was conceived as a functional element on which to drape one of the watches. The golden cliffs in the upper right hand corner are reminiscent of Dalí's homeland, Catalonia, and are derived from the rocks and cliffs at Cape Creus, where the Pyrenees meet the sea.[1]

It is rumored that the painting was sprinkled with red wine shortly after it was complete, as was the Mona Lisa."

Read Patrice Chaplin's (daughter-in-law of Charlie) "City of Secrets." She was a good friend of Salvador Dali, and there is some related insight in the book.
