This essay focuses on one of the many means by which the art of the Spaniard Joan Miró (1893-1983) came to be known and understood: Parnassus magazine. It was published from 1929 to 1941 by the College Art Association, and between 1932 and 1941 included many articles explaining Miró’s art. These articles are analyzed here in depth, as they help to comprehend the complicated reception in the United States of tendencies such as Dada, the several modes of Surrealism and Miro´s protagonism in this process. In fact, the strategy used in Parnassus was instrumental for Miró’s triumph in the United State from then on.
