DORIS A. MCMILLAN, a student of RUDOLPH SCHAEFFER at the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design in San Francisco, kept notes on Schaeffer's classes, September - November 1926. Renowned teacher of design and color, Rudolph Schaeffer (1886-1988), was the founder and director of the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design, first in San Francisco's Chinatown in 1926, and later in a rambling Edwardian mansion on Mariposa Street. The school attracted teachers and students from around the world and established San Francisco as an international center for design. Combining the aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts Movement and Asian Art, he practiced and taught a philosophy in which beauty and utility coalesced. Schaeffer retired in 1983. The school closed in 1986. Rudolph Schaeffer papers. Gift of the Rudolph Schaeffer estate and Schaeffer school administrator Peter Docili, 1991. |
