ACME Studio Keyring SKULL by Frida Kahlo

"Skull" Keyring, a design from Frida Kahlo, comes from ACME Studio's line of designer key rings. These key rings are made of a special zinc alloy, coloured enamel, and a braided stainless steel wire to hold the keys, with hand applied enamel depicting the unique artwork or design done by the designer. Each keyring is packaged in a custom blue felt pouch.

FRIDA KAHLO DE RIVERA, (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter who is best known for her self-portraits. Kahlo’s life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.

Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as naïve art or folk art. Kahlo had a volatile marriage with the famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera. She suffered lifelong health problems, many caused by a traffic accident she survived as a teenager. Recovering from her injuries isolated her from other people, and this isolation influenced her works, many of which are self-portraits of one sort or another.
