Barbara Ann Rosenthal (born 1948) is an American avant-garde artist, writer and performer.[1] Rosenthal's existential themes have contributed to contemporary art and philosophy.[2] Rosenthal's pseudonyms are "Homo Futurus," which was taken from the title of one of her books,[3] and "Cassandra-on-the-Hudson," [4] which alludes to "the dangerous world she envisions" [5] while creating art in her studio and residence on the Hudson River in Greenwich Village, NYC. Rosenthal successfully trademarked "Homo Futurus" in 2022.
Rosenthal is a conceptual artist whose archives have been accepted by Queens College.[6] In her work, Rosenthal often revisits past works, and combines old elements with new ones in a creative process that may include the use of X-rays, brain scans, physical or textual elements from her journals, and clothing.[7] As an artist in the fields of surrealism and existentialism, her works incorporate intense introspection,[8] and by using herself "as a guinea pig",[6] Rosenthal explores what it means to be human.[1][6]
As an artist, Rosenthal is known as an Old Master of New Media[5][6][9] because of her extensive use of photography,[10] video, electronic and digital media, and many other forms of art that have become popular in modern times with the advent of new technology, each of which has a section in this article.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Almost all of her works are produced in editions that combine camera, text, and performative aspects.[22][23] Elements of Rosenthal's earlier body of work, "Surreal Photography"[24] are often present in her contemporary pieces.
