"The True Price of Victory." Lea Rosson Delong discusses her scholarship on Christian Petersen and explores the strong side of this gentle sculptor. In addition to contemporary art, she has concentrated on American art of the Depression era, curating exhibitions and writing about the southwestern painter Alexandre Hogue and about New Deal art of the Midwest.

Lea Rosson Delong received her B.A. from the University of Oklahoma and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Kansas.

"Christian Petersen was a clear-eyed observer of humans and an artist of economy and directness. He felt a personal obligation to re-shape his disgust or anger into a form that could communicate his feelings and he believed that conveying a sense of suffering and sacrifice was a role that he, as an artist, could fill during wartime -- and afterwards." - Lea Rosson Delong
