He studied at the Boston Museum Of Fine Arts and later served as an assistant to sculptors Richard Recchia and Robert P.Baker. This was followed by five years in Paris where he continued his study, while working as an assistant to various French artists. He returned to the United States where he was engaged by Bryant Baker . In 1941 De Lue won a competition to create sculpture for the Philadelphia Post Office and from then on he stopped being an assistant for other artists and only worked on his own commissions and creations. De Lue's works can be found in many museums across America. Like many other sculptors of his generation De Lue executed several architectural works. He was also a prolific medalist. De Lue taught at the Beaux-Arts Institute Of Design in New York City during the early 1940s. In 1960 he won two Henry Hering Awards, given by the National Sculpture Society for outstanding collaboration between a sculptor and an architect for his Omaha Beach Memorial in Normandy, France and for the Stations Of The Cross at the Loyola Jesuit Seminary in Shrub Oak, New York .
