(1914–1988)
João Manuel Navarro Hogan was a Portuguese painter and printmaker.
Mainly a landscape painter, his style can be considered as neo-figurative although his synthesis of forms leads a considerable abstract approach to nature depiction. He employed a bold style, often using strong shades of green, browns and grey, in producing mainly urban landscapes, as well as abstract still-life work. His landscapes were always meditative and silent with an "earthy" feeling within it (often only one quarter of the painting is occupied by the sky) using for example in his preparatory studies close-up photographs of particular rocks that would later form mountains or rocky landscapes.
