Born in Memphis, Missouri and lived in Denton and Dallas, Texas before moving to Tulsa in 1945. He was chair of the University of Tulsa School of Art from 1945 to 1963 but continued teaching at TU until his retirement in 1968.

Hogue's paintings of the Dust Bowl era won him international acclaim. He painted many scenes of the drought-ravaged land that convey the sense of despair of that time period. His Drought Stricken Area, 1934, Dallas Museum of Art, was intended to show the breaking down of the relationship between humanity and nature.

"...at the same time that the dust bowl was making the garden into the desert that the early explorers had mistakenly thought it to be, regional artists were showing prairie landscape in its most idealized form." -Alexander Hogue

His works are in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American Art, National Museum of Modern Art at the Pompidou Center in Paris, Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, and Houston Museum of Fine Arts.
