" ... Tells the story of one man's journey from a luxurious life in elite Rome, to that of the bankrupted tenant on Moorilla Estate in Tasmania. There he watched as the winery he had created transformed into Mona, the dissident private museum that has reshaped contemporary Tasmania. 'Colour and Movement' is a portrait of a humanist, entrepreneur, patron of the arts and conservationist. Following his flight from facism and anti-Semitism, Alcorso joined the leading edge of Australia's twentieth century multicultural and artistic awakening; a champion of textiles and the arts, pioneer of Tasmania's cool-climate wine industry, and architect of Hobart's modern cultural blueprint."--Back cover.
