Carl Schaefer proudly defined himself as a regional Canadian painter and his area was rural southern Ontario particularly Grey County. He favoured agrarian themes rather than the wilderness scenes popularized by the Group of Seven. He studied at the Ontario College of Art (1921-24), where his teachers included <a href="https://rookleys.com/artists/97-arthur-lismer/" class="analytics" title="Arthur Lismer" target="_blank">Arthur Lismer</a> and <a href="https://rookleys.com/artists/72-j.e.h.-macdonald/" title="J.E.H. MacDonald" target="_blank"><span>J.E.H. MacDonald</span></a>. <br /> <p> <img alt="Carl Schaefer; Lutheran Church at Purdy, ON" src="https://artlogic-res.cloudinary.com/c_limit,f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto/ws-artlogicwebsite1332/usr/library/main/images/carl-schaefer-lutheran-church-at-purdy-on-5.jpg" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Carl Schaefer; Lutheran Church at Purdy, ON</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p>Schaefer was President of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour from 1939 to 1941 before becoming an official war artist with the RCAF (1943-46). This experience left a profound impact on his artistic perspective, casting a shadow over his work for several years.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="Carl Schaefer; Bomb Aimer, C Charlie, Ruhr" src="https://artlogic-res.cloudinary.com/c_limit,f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto/ws-artlogicwebsite1332/usr/library/main/images/carl-schaefer-bomb-aimer-c-charlie-ruhr-5.jpg" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Carl Schaefer; Bomb Aimer, C. Charlie, Battle of the Ruhr, 1943</p> <p> </p> <p>However, his innate resilience and artistic spirit eventually led him to rediscover a more cheerful and optimistic mood in his art, particularly during the 1950s. Schaefer was again painting in a broad, lyrical spirit in the countryside around Hanover and in neighbouring Wellington and Waterloo counties.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="Carl Schaefer; Raven Lake, Haliburton" src="https://artlogic-res.cloudinary.com/c_limit,f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto/ws-artlogicwebsite1332/usr/library/main/images/carl-schaefer-raven-lake-haliburton-2.jpg" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Carl Schaefer; Raven Lake, Haliburton</p> <p> </p> <p>Schaefer's dedication to art extended beyond his personal creations. He shared his knowledge and passion as a teacher at Central Technical School in Toronto in 1930 and later at the Ontario College of Art from 1948 to 1970.</p> <p> </p> <p>There were three major Carl Schaefer exhibitions during the artist's lifetime: by the McCord Museum, Montreal, in 1967; by the Robert McLauchlin Art Gallery, Oshawa, ON, in 1976; and by the Edmonton Art Gallery in 1980. </p> <p> </p> </div> <div class="divider"></div> <div class="divider"></div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <!--contentend--> </div> <div id="footer" role="contentinfo" class=""> <div class="inner"> <div class="copyright"> <div class="small-links-container"> <div class="cookie-policy"><a href="/cookie-policy/">Cookie Policy</a></div> </div> <div id="copyright" class="noprint"> <div class="copyright-text"> Copyright © 2024 Rookleys </div> <div id="artlogic" class="noprint"><a href="https://artlogic.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Site by Artlogic </a></div> </div> </div> <div id="social_links" class="clearwithin"> <div id="facebook" class="social_links_item"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552589584294" class=""><span class="social_media_icon facebook"></span>Facebook<span class="screen-reader-only">, opens in a new tab.</span></a></div><div id="twitter" class="social_links_item"><a href="https://www.twitter.com/rookleys/" class=""><span class="social_media_icon twitter"></span>Twitter<span class="screen-reader-only">, opens in a new tab.</span></a></div><div id="youtube" class="social_links_item"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUFyLZEu9-OAMW9eg33pcmA" class=""><span class="social_media_icon youtube"></span>Youtube<span class="screen-reader-only">, opens in a new tab.</span></a></div><div id="pinterest" class="social_links_item"><a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/rookleys/" class=""><span class="social_media_icon pinterest"></span>Pinterest<span class="screen-reader-only">, opens in a new tab.</span></a></div><div id="instagram" class="social_links_item"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rookleys/" class=""><span class="social_media_icon instagram"></span>Instagram<span class="screen-reader-only">, opens in a new tab.</span></a></div><div id="tiktok" class="social_links_item"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@rookleys?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc" class=""><span class="social_media_icon tiktok"></span>Tiktok<span class="screen-reader-only">, opens in a new tab.</span></a></div><div id="mailinglist" class="social_links_item"><a href="/mailing-list/" class=" mailinglist_signup_popup_link"><span class="social_media_icon mailinglist"></span>Join the mailing list</a></div><div id="email" class="social_links_item"><a href="/contact/form/" class="link-no-ajax"><span class="social_media_icon email"></span>Send an email</a></div><div id="googlemap" class="social_links_item"><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/329+Ridge+Rd+N,+Ridgeway,+ON+L0S+1N0/@42.883732,-79.0528291,19z/data=!4m16!1m9!3m8!1s0x89d33e779ea7ed7f:0xe6f8b2abcb7f80c8!2s329+Ridge+Rd+N,+Ridgeway,+ON+L0S+1N0!3b1!8m2!3d42.8837392!4d-79.0521439!10e5!16s%2Fg%2F11c5bl5vvs!3m5!1s0x89d33e779ea7ed7f:0xe6f8b2abcb7f80c8!8m2!3d42.8837392!4d-79.0521439!16s%2Fg%2F11c5bl5vvs?authuser=0" class="website_map_popup" data-latlng="42.88373593612011, -79.05211830832256" data-title="Rookleys" data-zoom="15"><span class="social_media_icon googlemap"></span>View on Google Maps</a></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div id="cookie_notification" role="region" aria-label="Cookie banner" data-mode="" data-cookie-notification-settings=""> <div class="inner"> <div id="cookie_notification_message" class="prose"> <p><strong>This website uses cookies</strong><br>This site uses cookies to help make it more useful to you.
