Answer:

Explanation:Change "Kahlo" to "Kahlo's"

Revised sentence 1: Frida Kahlo's 1932 painting, "Self-portrait on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States," visually depicts a woman living between two cultures.

The possessive form "Kahlo's" is needed to indicate that the painting belongs to Frida Kahlo.
