Born in Hanover, Ontario,
Schaefer studied with Arthur Lismer and J.E.H. MacDonald
at the Ontario College of Art, Toronto (1921-1924);
lithography at the Dartmouth College, New Hampshire
(1940-1941); and at the Central School of Art and
Design, London, England (1943-44).
Working in oil, watercolour, ink, linocuts and
wood engravings, his subjects include landscape,
especially rural scenes with fences, isolated houses,
and dead trees. He
often traveled and painted in the Haliburton, Algonguin
Park, Waterloo County, and the Pickeral River areas of
Ontario. His
work explores the symbolic aspects of the landscape, its
strength and endurance, even in isolation.
He taught both at the Central Technical School,
Toronto (1930-1947) and at the Ontario College of Art,
Toronto (1948-1968).
He was President of the CSPWC (1939-1941), an
official war artist with the RCAF in England and Iceland
(1943-1946), and received an honorary doctorate from the
University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario in 1976.
He died in Toronto, Ontario.
