Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Artist Alexandre Hogue (1898-1994) was 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 the university until his retirement in 1968. The gallery in Phillips Hall has been named in his honor.

Hogue's paintings of the Dust Bowl era won him international acclaim. 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.

At the time of his retirement, The University of Tulsa acquired a representative retrospective collection of his works (oils, engravings, and lithographs) which are housed in the Department of Special Collections, McFarlin Library.

Hogue deposited his personal files in The University of Tulsa archive, occasionally updating them over several years time. The following is an inventory and description of those files, as he described them. Please refer also to the on-line catalogue for records of magazine and journal appearances as well as The Career of Alexandre Hogue, a dissertation by Sandra Lea Rosson, University of Kansas.
