A prolific contributor to books and magazines during the early twentieth century, the so-called "Golden Age of Illustration". In 1918 and 1919, he produced a series of paintings along with Gayle Porter Hoskins illustrating the American forces in the First World War. Over the course of his career, he made more than 5,000 paintings, many of which were influenced by his travels and the people he met. Schoonover helped to organize what is now the Delaware Art Museum and was chairman of the fundraising committee charged with acquiring works by Howard Pyle.
