After the War, Georges worked as a patent dealer and became the director of a Jewish rehabilitation home for children run by Œuvre de secours aux enfants (OSE) in Paris.
Seeking more romantic quarters Georges and Mirka moved into Grosvenor Chambers (Ola Cohn's former studio) at 9 Collins Street Melbourne (the so called 'Paris End').
[4][5] Patrons ate from Expressionist crockery by Arthur Boyd and John Perceval,[6] were seated on surrealist furniture, and surrounded by murals and sculptures by Clifford Last, Ian Sime and Julius Kane.
In 1956, Georges Mora was elected President of the Contemporary Art Society and declared at a CAS meeting that: "We must break down this prejudice in the world that Australia is an artistically backward country.
A mural commissioned by Mora in 1962 was painted as individual panels by three Sydney-based 'Annandale Imitation Realists'; Colin Lanceley, Mike Brown and Ross Crothall in exchange for meals and accommodation.
[15] They were joined by prominent journalists and writers Barrett Reid, Brian McArdle and Philip Jones,[16] who found company amongst the likes of French mime Marcel Marceau,[17] Barry Humphries, photographers such as Robert Whitaker[18] and Mark Strizic, and filmmaker Nigel Buesst.
Georges travelled to the USA and Europe[22] promoting the international reputation of Australian art, and selling European, American and Australian art into his adopted country's national, state, regional and corporate collections,[23] lending work for a very significant Bonnard exhibition touring Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth state museums in 1971.
[24] Exhibitions in the first years (1967–69) of the new gallery also presented radical hard-edge abstractions by Dale Hickey and Robert Hunter and sculpture by Ti Parks.
Throughout its career, Tolarno Galleries supported challenging contemporary art,[25] including eight shows of highly-charged politico-sexual imagery by Juan Davila.
