Frida Kahlo and Surrealist Salvador Dali only met once in the 1930s, when Surrealism was reshaping the art world. Frida rejected the movement, but Andre Breton, the French writer and poet and co-founder of Surrealism, described her as a 'natural surrealist.' In any case, both are featured in the window of a bookstore downtown.

This is a very special photo, Pat. Must have been some great books in that bookstore. I recently visited a Dali museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Not my cup of tea, I must confess. My granddaughters are big Frida Kahlo fans. Both have favorite Kahlo tee shirts.
Thanks, Jack, for your comment. I like Dali, both most of his work and his personality. Ditto for Frida. You were right in saying that this bookstore is a special place. There's a cafe inside, too.
