Raisonne Notes:
"Between 1933 and 1934, De Lue experimented with etching and drypoint, executing more than a dozen works, mostly single female and male nudes, but some complicated interactive groups that presaged his aspirational human figures of a decade later. He frankly admitted later they were done in the hope that they would sell well and raise money. Also, they did not compete with Bryant Baker's sculpture. The etching project continues at least through 1935, and while some works sold, it was not the commercial success that De Lue had hoped for" from D. Roger Howlett "Donald De Lue: Gods, Prophets, and Heroes," 1990, pg. 25. Note: De Lue sometimes misspelled the titles of his works. This raisonne was compiled by Alexander Ulreich.

Donald De Lue
American 1897 - 1988
Born in Boston in 1897, Donald Harcourt De Lue created, in a career spanning sixty years, more monumental sculpture than any other recent American artist, and is regarded as one of America's greatest monumental sculptors in the Realist style in the twentieth century. His works include: Rocket Thrower, executed for the New York World’s Fair of 1964; The Spirit of American Youth, for the Omaha Beach Memorial, Normandy; Quest Eternal, at the Prudential Center in Boston; Washington at Prayer, at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania; and three of the monuments at the Gettysberg Battlefield. An accomplished draftsman, De Lue also created an extensive portfolio of designs on paper (over 2,000 in total) that inspired or related directly to his three-dimensional works, as well as a limited number of drypoint prints between the years 1933 and 1934.
