Private collection, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Born in Memphis, Missouri, Hogue moved as an infant with his family to Denton, Texas, where his mother taught him about "Mother Earth" while she gardened. Englishwoman Elizabeth Hillyar gave him his first art training in Denton, stressing mass over the outline. He also often visited his sister's ranch near Dalhart in the Texas Panhandle. After high school, Hogue did commercial art in Minneapolis in 1918, taking night classes at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Returning to Dallas in 1919, Hogue perfected his commercial art skills before venturing to New York from 1921 to 1925. Hogue exhibited in nearly all the major Texas exhibitions of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. He also showed periodically at the annuals at the National Academy of Design, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney, and the Art Institute of Chicago, and in the Corcoran Biennial and the 1939 New York World's Fair.
