Max Luthi
I've read Luthi in the long past (THE FAIRYTALE AS ART FORM and ONCE UPON A TIME) and just picked up THE EUROPEAN FOLKTALE--passed by it on a table at a bookstore. As I'm v. interested in formal elements in art (and in my own writing as some of you know), I thought it'd make good reading.
I was wondering how others use his work, in the field (as it were).
Thanks so much if anyone feels like offering any thoughts.

elements of art
Kate,
I read Luthi years ago and will have to think about it some more--but your interest in the formal elements of art reminded me that in Scheub's class on oral narrative we read from the notebooks of Paul Klee as a way of acquiring a perspective on the use of emotionally evocative images (in Klee's work it was with color eliciting an emotional response--that was then patterned in the formal structure of the painting). His notebooks are quite lovely to read and full of surprising insights when applied to the formal and emotionally evocative structure of the narratives--particularly when thinking about oral performance--which like viewing a painting is more immediate.

Wading through
I found Luthi tough going save for the occasional pithy (and liftable) remark. YMMV

Thanks
Midori, thanks for the tip. I'll look for those notebooks (my school must have them in the library--it's an art school!).
Jane: what does YMMV mean? I am most curious!

Explain
YMMV--your mileage may vary.
