Paul Cox (1940-) is an award-winning Australian film director and photographer. Cox was born in Venlo, Limburg, the Netherlands, and emigrated to Australia in 1965. He taught photography at Prahran College in the 1970s, where his students included Carol Jerrems and Robert Ashton.
He is now better known as a film maker and has collaborated with a number of screenwriters including John Clarke and Bob Ellis.
This exhibition of photographs from the MGA Collection allows the gallery to highlight an aspect of Cox’s career that is relatively under appreciated.
