About the Artwork
This figurative sculpture depicts a very strong looking winged woman holding her hands straight above her head—one hand making a fist with a broken chain around her wrist and the other hand open as if she is about to fly.
About the Artist
Donald DeLue
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Donald Harcourt De Lue’s career spanned an impressive six decades. Highly regarded in the artist community both for his talent and character, De Lue was known as a “sculptor’s sculptor” and served as a president of the National Sculpture Society. Among his many accolades, De Lue is most often praised for his virtuosity in sculpting the human form in the traditional method. A product of study in both the United States and France, De Lue’s figurative sculptures often evoke nationalistic symbolism, classical mythology, or philosophical ideas.
