She had two older sisters, Matilde and Adriana, and her younger sister, Cristina, was born the year after Frida. Around the age of six, Kahlo contracted polio, which caused her to be bedridden for nine months. While she recovered from the illness, she limped when she walked because the disease had damaged her right leg and foot. Her father encouraged her to play soccer, go swimming, and even wrestle — highly unusual moves for a girl at the time — to help aid in her recovery.]]> 2017-11-12 22:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wbfhowarde30/r40a5dgv3n98/wish/206045423 Who is Frida Kahlo? wbfhowarde30 https://padlet.com/wbfhowarde30/r40a5dgv3n98/wish/206045537 Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colors.
