Poetic Obituaries: "Trova invented this great symbol of

human fallibility through processing and reprocessing the image," [Matt] Strauss said.

In later years, Mr. [Ernest] Trova created abstract constructivist sculptures which failed to get much attention outside the St. Louis area.

Mr. Trova was born in St. Louis in 1927, and he never lived anywhere else. As an artist he was self-taught, and he was interested in music and poetry as well as in visual art.
