Las Aparencias Engañan, discovered in 2007 in Casa Azul secret archive, is a self-portrait by Frida Kahlo, made with pencil and charcoal on paper.The work, together with other drawings and documents, will leave for the first time Casa Azul to be exhibited at MUDEC - Museo delle Culture in Milan, as part of the exhibition "Frida Kahlo, beyond the myth".

The artwork deals with a figurative realism established in the scenic representation and in the detailed illustration of the body of the artist. Frida signs the artwork with her name as a self-pitying rather than commemorative grave, and decorates her left leg – the one that was most damaged in the accident – with butterflies. The imprecision of the graphic stroke flares up into colors, emphasizing the matter itself to account for the vicissitudes of an intimacy exposed to the viewer.

Tendercapital,through its art incubator TenderToArt, is the sponsor of the exhibition and made possible the transportation and display of the drawing.
