Throughout his life, Hogue stuck by his innermost belief: a sense of life within the earth that endures despite man’s ravages. Each series—from the hauntingly beautiful Taos landscapes and prophetic canvases of a dust-covered Southwest to his depictions of the striking geological phenomena of the Big Bend—serves as homage to nature. Today, with the ecology of the American West more fragile than ever, Hogue’s works seem even more prescient. Their almost supernatural beauty reminds us of the power of the earth and our own somewhat tentative connection to the land.
