Here's why it might be confusing and what you might be looking for:
* Phenomenology in Art Criticism: Phenomenology is a philosophical approach that focuses on the lived experience of the subject. In art criticism, it emphasizes understanding the viewer's direct experience of a work of art.
* Key Figures: There are prominent figures in phenomenological art criticism, including:
* Edmund Husserl: The founder of phenomenology as a philosophical method.
* Maurice Merleau-Ponty: A philosopher who applied phenomenology to aesthetics and the body's relationship to art.
* Martin Heidegger: A philosopher who explored the relationship between art, being, and the world.
* No "Feldman-Mittler": While there are many critical methods and thinkers, there's no documented or widely-recognized approach by Feldman and Mittler specifically focused on phenomenology.
To help clarify:
* Can you provide more context? What source or conversation led you to this term?
* Are you looking for specific authors who wrote about phenomenological art criticism?
* Are you interested in understanding phenomenology as a method in general?
