Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Written with great passion, this book is a unique insight into the way an artist works and the way in which life feeds art.Few artists in Australia are held in such affectionate esteem as Mirka Mora. Even fewer have had such an amazing life. Narrowly avoiding Auschwitz during the Second Worl…d War, she and her husband Georges settled in Melbourne, where their landmark cafe-restaurants became a magnet for artists, writers and intellectuals - a slice of Paris's Left Bank in an otherwise staid and provincial city. Both were also pivotal in the establishment of the acclaimed Museum of Modern Art at Heide.No conventional autobiography, Wicked but Virtuous is a delightfully eccentric account of a life lived to the utmost. It celebrates the highs and lows of Mirka's bohemian existence, her work, lovers, family, and the rich array of characters who were drawn into her world by her wisdom, generosity and outrageousness.Written with great passion, this book is a unique insight into the way an artist works and the way in which life feeds art. Few artists in Australia are held in such affectionate esteem as Mirka Mora. Even fewer have had such an amazing life.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title.Author: Mirka Mora Fo…rmat: Hardback Number of Pages: 352Escape into the extraordinary life of Mirka Mora, the French-Australian bohemian artist and cultural icon, in this delightfully eccentric and passionate autobiography. From narrowly escaping the horrors of the Holocaust in her native Paris to settling in a staid 1950s Melbourne, Mora's story is a vivid canvas of survival, artistic obsession, and outrageous charm. She recounts her pivotal role in transforming the city's cultural scene, running legendary cafe-restaurants that became a magnet for artists and intellectuals, and living a life "wicked but virtuous," filled with lovers, art, and an unwavering zest for the unconventional. This is more than a memoir; it is a celebration of a life lived to the utmost and a unique insight into how an artist's world, family, and extraordinary generosity feed the imagination. Secondhand, Hardback.
