Juanita Donahoo

Juanita Donahoo was an artist active for a defined period between 1936 and 1941. Their documented output includes ten renderings categorized under the "index of american designs," suggesting a focus on the precise documentation of historical artifacts and decorative arts common to federal arts projects of the era.

Donahoo’s work is represented in museum collections, notably at the National Gallery of Art. The documented works emphasize ecclesiastical and architectural subjects, functioning as detailed visual records of American craft and design heritage. Key pieces represented in collections include the rendering of a Crucifix, the documentation of a Copper Baptismal Font, and studies of architectural elements, such as Doorway, Stone and a Candlestick (One of a Pair).

These precise documentations are valued today as museum-quality records. As historical resources, many of Juanita Donahoo prints and designs are now held in the public domain, offering valuable insight into early American decorative arts.
