Professor DeLue's most recent publication, a book co-edited with James Elkins, considers landscape theory from an interdisciplinary perspective. A recent article, “Diagnosing Pictures,” examines turn-of-the-century American art criticism and, in particular, the manner in which art writers appropriated a model of diagnosis from late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century medicine for use in the description and interpretation of paintings. DeLue is also at work on an essay about Spike Lee’s Bamboozled that will be published in an anthology on Lee’s films; an article on beauty and stereotype in contemporary art; and a book on the American painter Arthur Dove. She is affiliated faculty in Princeton’s Center for African American Studies, and other areas of teaching and research include African American art, race and visual culture, and visual theory. In addition to presenting at domestic and international conferences and symposia, Professor DeLue has served as a consultant to various museums and collections, including the Terra Foundation, and in June 2005 was a faculty member for a Terra-sponsored professional development program for public high school teachers in Chicago.
