Wrappers lightly worn with some light shelf-wear to the extremities present. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The College Art Association of America (CAA) , founded in 1911, is a membership organization dedicated to education in the visual arts. Throughout its history, this goal has been pursued, in part, by the publication of periodicals, including Parnassus, The College Art Journal and The Index of Twentieth Century Artists, all of which are no longer published. Others, like CAA News, The Art Bulletin and Art Journal, are still in print. Parnassus, which published from 1929 until 1941, and was in many ways not the cookbook the early Art Bulletin had been or was accused of being.6 At least early on, it had a quite specific mission: it was, according to a membership solicitation in its inaugural issue in January 1929, "a quarterly of news and topical value devoted largely to art activities in Europe and edited by authorities in the field. " Through the first few years, it featured letters from editors in Rome, Berlin, London, Austria, the Soviet Union, and Spain, and abstracts from recent international periodicalsBelvedere, The Burlington Magazine, Pantheon, Pinacotheca, La Rivista d'Arteand only a handful, if that, of articles devoted to the college campus or to anything outside the campus museum. Despite the focus on Europe, and to a certain extent written within that focus, Parnassus was a very local magazine; its view was that from CAA's offices on Washington Square. It ran auction results, a New York exhibitions calendar, and a review of "art activities" in New York in its second number. Ten issues later, when it began to survey art activities nationally, its title was telling: the May 1930 issue featured both "A Perspective View of the New York Season, " by Audrey McMahon, and "A Cursive Review of Recent Museum Activities and Exhibitions outside New York, " by Irene Weir.
