Wicked But Virtuous is Mirka Mora’s exuberant 2000 hardcover memoir, illustrated with the same whimsical line work that made her a darling of Australia’s avant-garde art scene. The book blends autobiography and art history as Mora recounts wartime Europe, migration to Melbourne, and the bohemian circles that shaped her career.

Collectors prize this vintage Australian edition for its sturdy binding and the generous colour plates tucked among the pages. Every chapter radiates her signature joie-de-vivre, turning stories of hardship into celebrations of creativity and survival.

This copy sits in very good condition: pages are crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound, with no prior owner notes or dog-eared corners. It comes from a smoke-free home, ready to slide onto an art-lover’s shelf or become a thoughtful gift for anyone drawn to memoirs that pulse with colour and life.
