More DescriptionExhibition catalogue to accompany the exhibition of the same title at Heide Museum of Modern Art. Mirka Mora is one of Melbourne's most colourful personalities and best-loved artists. The catalogue discusses the exhibition, which is drawn primarily from the treasure trove of Mora's personal collection of her own paintings, soft-sculpture dolls, tapestries, ceramics and sketchbooks. It brings a sense of the artist's home to Heide II, the modernist home of Heide founders John and Sunday Reed, which was designed as a 'gallery to be lived in'.The exhibition reveals many objects and images never before seen by the public, all created in Mirka's sensuous, naïve style and marked by her idiosyncratic iconography of recurring motifs, from children, dogs and birds to angels, devils and snakes.
