Air for the G String
Year of production
1934
Year of creation
1928
Air for the G String, created by Humphrey in 1928, is a grave, sculptural dance to Bach, in which five women in long Renaissance-like draperies move slowly in procession. It is an abstract piece–no story–but it has a devout, almost religious look. Air for the G String is an unusual work for Humphrey–her outlook was humanist, not religious, and she concentrated on human relationships.
