He always viewed himself as a radical, yet his passion stemmed from a deeply conservative idea: that art, culture, and nature should form a central force in the life of every human being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis well-known \u003ci\u003eDust Bowl \u003c\/i\u003eseries labeled him as a regionalist painter, but Hogue never accepted that identity. His work reveals the spirit of Texas and the Southwest as he experienced it for nearly a century. In his later years Hogue worked in forms of crisply rendered nonobjective and calligraphic one-liner paintings.
