Two Ecstatic Themes
Year of production
1995
Year of creation
1931
Two ecstatic Themes is the keynote to Miss Humphrey’s mature work. The first part is in cicrcular and spiral movements, soft and sinking, to convey a feeling of acquiescence.
The second part, in contrast to the first, moves in pointed design to a strident climax suggestive of aggressive achievement.
The whole is a counterpoint of circular and angular movement, representing the two inseparable elements of life as well as of design.
