Salvatore Borrazzo

Salvatore Borrazzo was an artist active during a concentrated period from 1935 to 1937. His verifiable output focuses exclusively on documentary works created for the Index of American Design, a project established under the Federal Art Project. This activity places Borrazzo's contributions firmly within the realm of American decorative arts documentation and historical preservation. Fifteen individual works representing Borrazzo's specialized efforts are preserved in major museum collections.

The core of Borrazzo's documented output is preserved in the National Gallery of Art (NGA). These detailed studies centered on everyday objects and functional design, providing visual records of historical American craftsmanship. Subjects documented by Borrazzo include renderings of an Inkwell, a Jug, and multiple distinct depictions of an Andiron. These documents serve as crucial historical resources and are often made available as downloadable artwork for scholarly study. Because of their status within federal archives, many Salvatore Borrazzo prints are now considered part of the public domain, sometimes offered as high-quality prints for collection purposes.
