Works
Some of Moralis' most famous works include:
- Two Friends (1946)
- Pregnant Woman (1948)
- Seated Nude (1952)
- Erotiko (1990).
From the 1970s, he moved from the realistic depictions of the human form of his earlier works towards a geometric stylisation incorporating curves.
Over the years, Moralis was also involved with creating theatrical set and costume designs for the Greek National Theatre and the Greek National Ballet; illustrating poetic works by Odysseas Elytis and Giorgos Seferis; and decorating architectural works such as the façade of the Athens Hilton, the Metro-Station "Panepistimiou" and the Athens Central Station.
In 1965 he was decorated by King Constantine II with the Order of the Phoenix.
