Figures and Portraits: The Human Equation

In our upcoming exhibition "Figures and Portraits: The Human Equation", we take a fresh look at many works of art to see if the artist seems to portray the "real" or "ideal". This exhibition will be on view May 18 through July 11.

Featured Work

Nymph
Title: Nymph
Artist: De Lue, Donald
  American (1897-1988)
Bronze with Renaissance Brown patina. Number 5 in an adition of 12. Signed and inscribed on base: "D. De Lue / sc 1934 / © 1986 / 5/12 Tx". Cast at the Tallix foundry in Beacon, NY. Mounted on Vermont Verde marble base measuring 10 x 7 3/4 x 1 inches. In fine condition "This is probably the earliest surviving work in which De Lue reaches for his final form, style and themes. It would be hardly credible that this streamlined 'Nymph' could be from the same year as "Seated Woman" were it not for a 1934 drawing that shows a closely related figure. Once again, the title suggests the deep involvement that De Lue felt in the 1930s with classical mythology and writings" from D. Roger Howlett "Donald De Lue: Gods, Prophets, and Heroes," 1990, pg. 24.
