A modernist painter, Robert Hogue did still-lifes, landscapes and portraits, and also experimented with lithography and etching. A wealthy man who painted for his own pleasure, Hogue produced a relatively small body of work. Born in Philadelphia, he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He settled in New Hope in 1928. Hogue was a founding member of the Independents, a group of New Hope modernists who formed in 1930 to protest the impressionists' domination of Phillips' Mill. Because of his interest in aviation, he was called the "The Flying Artist."
