  • Excellent.

    

  • Good exposition.

  • I'm not surprised Breton was fascinated by her work. However it's clear just by looking at her art and by associating it with her life story that there wasn't anything surreal about her work. As Freud says: "The dream is the impetus of the days residue" but what Frida seemed to be representing in her paintings was the reality of her life, defiantly no dream. Alongside that I can however understand again why Breton was curious about her work as it is very allegorical.
