Vogel was known for his gritty and crowded scenes of blue collar workers and nocturnal New York. A teacher at the School for Industrial Art in New York (today the High School of Art and Design), Vogel's prints were exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., and at the National Gallery, New York. During World War II, Vogel changed his artistic focus to the depiction of disillusionment and the sense of entrapment.
