Pan-Cultural Creator
E.B. Cox puts the finishing touches on Pan - god of the wild and flautist extraordinaire - in the 1960s. A colleague of the Group of Seven and a precocious sculptor, Cox pioneered the use of power tools for carving stone and crafted a bridge between native and modern art.

A Smiling E.B. Cox enjoys the company of his creation, Pan.

Family Fun
E.B. Cox and two of his grandchildren ride the Centaur, in a photo taken by daughter Kathy Sutton at the Garden of the Greek Gods in 1980. The sculptor wanted his art available to the public "especially children," Sutton said.
Entourage
An 11-foot Hercules - a divine hero and son of Zeus - oversees his would-be groupies at Muzik Nightclub.

Sick Beats

Sphinx on the Beach

Beauty, Charm, Joy
Daughter of Zeus, the Three Graces embody beauty, charm and mirth - and might well feel at home at Muzik, depending on the night.


Trumpeting the Muzik
