Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design (1924 – 1984) was an art school located in San Francisco, California, best known for its courses in color and interior design. The school was founded by artist Rudolph Schaeffer.

History

Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design was an art school founded in 1924 in San Francisco, California. Originally named the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Rhythmo-Chromatic Design, located at 136 St. Anne Street in the Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco. Other artists had studios in the Anne Street building, including Bertha Lum and Frances Wallace.[1] In 1951 the school moved to Telegraph Hill. In the 1950s, in order to educate the public and students about Asian culture, Schaeffer invited Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri, founder of California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) to give public lectures at his East-West Arts Gallery.[2]

By 1960 the school moved to Potrero Hill at 2255 Mariposa Street.[1][3] In 1984 the school closed after financial issues and disagreements in terms of direction of the school between Schaeffer and the Board of Trustees.[1]
