Tava's Art Prints Described
[Part 1]
----
|
Tava1
This print depicts Large and Tall Figures of
Gilgamesh And Enkidu
on Corragated Iron.
They are Masturbating their oversized
cocks.
Enkidu is wearing an Iron mask.
|
Tava2
This print depicts beautiful
Harmodius
washed by a red glowing flame
hanging in a leather sling
suspended on golden chains.
Harmodius is preparing to
fist himself.
|
Tava3
This print depicts a
"Man on a Dolphin"
painted on cement, which forms a
multicolored background when scanned.
I believe the "Man" represents
"Primitive Man"
-- the kind of man
found in the
Early
Papua New Guinea Men's Houses.
The original was painted with acrylics in 1978,
on New York City Pier#51.
The 18' by 32'
original mural had a
Gallery Annoncement At The Time.
It is one of Tava's
More Famous And Most Liked Themes
|
Tava4
This print depicts the middle section
of a huge mural on corrugated fiberglass.
The figure is
"Gugalanna"
the
"Bull Of Heaven,"
from the Gilgamesh Epic,
with a metal gold gilt ring piercing his nostrils.
He is masturbating;
his semen is dripping
from his massive cock
onto his balls,
while he is being pulled apart
as a test of strength
between
Harmodius And Aristogeiton.
It is one of my favorite prints.
|
Tava5
This print probably depicts
the middle aged
Aristogeiton
in an Egyptian-styled
headress and cape.
The silver-toned figure
is wearing a thread-thin
Jockstrap
in the shape of a
Ram's Head.
|
Tava6
This print depicts
a bearded
"Primitive Man"
in a most natural state:
Sucking on Another
Man's Balls.
All the hair,
including the pubic hair
surrounding the
Huge Cock,
is gold gilt on marble.
It's a fabulous print!
|
Tava7
This print depicts the
"1976 Bi-Centenial Cock"
that was painted on the abandoned 19 street
elevated ramp to
The Henry Hudson
West Side Highway.
It's a large cock and balls
highlighted with patriotic
red and blue stars.
|
Tava8
This print depicts a wall mural
hung on the bottom level
of the Underground Club
(Circa 1978)
on Union Sguare in New York City
during that Summer's
First Sleaze Ball.
Customers were given white towels that said
"Sleaze"
on them.
Some people had to go home with the towel
because
"Somehow"
coat check lost
clothing.
One friend told me he felt lucky to have
his wallet still on him when he got home.
The mural's central focal point is a
Jock Strap,
painted on a protruding
portion of the wall.
On both sides two men
with their arms raised
proudly display their
brown, arm pit hair
and
huge red cocks
tied off with gold cock rings
|
Tava9
This print depicts the torso
of
Harmodius
from
The Tomb of Harmodius.
The print is washed in a
gold tone.
The original
22" by 11 1/2" by 1 1/4 " thick
broken
(on a slant at the top)
marble
frames Harmodius's bicep
and chest with
gold gilt.
Of Special Note:
All the marble used by Tava
was taken from rejected pieces
from the builders of the
World Trade Center - and are
even more collectible
since the tragedy.
|
Tava10
This print depicts what Tava called
"The Falling Man."
(Circa 1977)
The original
acrylic on concrete mural
was
20' by 20'.
Again the, so called,
"Primitive Man"
appears to be riding a Dolphin,
in my view, anyway.
The figure is painted on a
Broken Portion of the Pier
that is falling into the water.
However my print of the mural
causes the water to assimilate
the shape and size of a
Dolphin's Back.
Instead of falling,
the man appears to be
Surfing
atop the Mammal.
|
Tava11
This print depicts a
"Primitive Man"
washed in red against a
background of
green dudgeon stones
anticipating a cock
about to enter his
drooling mouth.
|
Tava12
This print depicts
Enkidu
straddling over
Gilgamesh's Torso,
washed in a red glow.
Gilgmesh is anticipating
Enkidu's gigantic cock
which stretches across
the entire painting.
The original
73" by 46 1/2"
is acrylic on corrugated iron.
(Circa 1979)
--
Print

is the same piece
without the red glow.

Clipped Cock

Gold Gilt.
|
Tava14
This print depicts a
"Primitive Man"
with his legs spread eagle
crouched down, low near the ground
Beating His Cock
while his huge balls hang low
and
Dangle Beneath His Grip
|
Tava15
This print depicts
A Well Endowed
Man
Glowing in Gold Colors
with a beautiful large
Hard Cock
popping out of a jockstrap.
He is uncut
to symbolize
"Primitive Man"
|
Tava16
This print depicts
Enkidu
with a beard circling
His Entire Mouth
awash in gold tones
waiting for Gilgamesh's
Droplets of Semen
to land on his tongue.
|
Tava17
This print depicts
another direction and minor concept
that Tava allowed his work to take.
Nero's Red Eyes
peer through a black darkness
with only the Flames of Rome
reflected in his inner being.
The original
14' by 34' mural
was painted in 1979,
and is
Gold leaf
on
Textured Tin.
--
When I first started going to the piers
for sex - this image was also on the wall there -
and at my young age of 22 - it frightened me -
only adding to the excitement of
sex with a stranger in a semi-outdoor
forbidden underground area.
|
Tava18
This print depicts
the upper torso of
"Harmodius"
etched in gold gilt
on marble from
The World Trade Center's Rejected Bulider's Stones.
The scan of the photo
creates a multicolored background.
Indeed, the original
piece is
Half Painting,
Half Sculpture.
Circa 1980

Enkidu
leaning with one arm against
the ceiling beam to

a larger version
(60" by 35" by 2' thick)
of the upper torso of
"Harmodius"
etched in gold gilt
on marble from
The World Trade Center's Rejected Bulider's Stones.
It is similar to the marble sculpture
(Print 18)
with
Harmodius's Torso in Gold Gilt
leaning against a
bright red brick wall
with leather harnesses hanging near the piece.
Circa (1980)
