- In September 1938, André Breton was sent to Mexico by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give a series of lectures on the state of poetry and painting in Europe. With his wife Jacqueline Lamba, he is welcomed in Mexico by the Kahlo-Rivera couple. Frida Kahlo denies being surrealist. “I was taken for a surrealist. It is not fair. I never painted dreams. What I represented was my reality11. "Breton, captivated by Frida, writes: "the art of Frida Kahlo de Rivera is a ribbon around a bomb", while a true and deep friendship is forged between Frida and JacquelineAt the beginning of October 1938, Frida Kahlo presented her works in Julien Levy's gallery in New York. Half of the twenty-five works presented are sold there. During her stay, she has an affair with photographer Nickolas Muray.
- National recognition (annexe)
- I was even elected member of the Seminario de Cultura Mexicana, an organization created by the Minister of Cultural Affairs and made up of twenty-five artists and intellectuals.
- In 1939, Frida went to Paris for the great exhibition on Mexico organized by the Lázaro Cárdenas government at the Renou and Pierre Colle gallery. She stayed with André Breton and met the painters Yves Tanguy, Picasso and Vassili Kandinsky.She doesn't like Paris, which she finds dirty, and the food doesn't suit her; she gets colibacillosis. The exhibition displeases her: her opinion is that she "is invaded by this bunch of lunatic sons of b*tches that are the surrealists", she finds superfluous "all this crap" exposed around Mexico. On top of that, Pierre Colle's partner refuses to exhibit all of Frida's works in his gallery, he only retains 6 out of 27, shocked by the crudeness of the paintings. She hardly appreciates the look any more than A. Breton ("pretentious") focuses on her art, which she perceives as tinged with contempt and incomprehension. She consoles herself with Jacqueline, with whom she has an affair
- A very difficult ending
