Stanley Rosenthal



Stanley Rosenthal, 73, of Huntington Woods, died on 22 November 2015.

The Memorial Service was held at Community Arts Auditorium at Wayne State Univ. on Friday, 15 January 2016 at 3:00 PM .

Family members include:
Beloved husband of Kathy Rosenthal. Cherished brother of Joel (Naomi) Rosenthal and Suzanne (Bob) Moore. Dear brother-in-law of Gary (Kathy) Miller and Bob (Marilyn) Miller. Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews students and friends.

Stanley Rosenthal was born and raised in Cleveland, OH and very proud of it. He then went to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA where he earned a B.F.A and from there to Detroit, MI to get his M.F.A. from Wayne State University. He began full time teaching at WSU as an instructor in 1969, progressing through the academic ranks to become full professor in 2006. He was a WSU employee for 46 years and served for many years as graduate officer for the Department of Art and Art History, as a member of the Graduate Council and on a number of college and university committees. Rosenthal was a tenacious advocate for the arts, a warm and genuine colleague and a dedicated teacher.

Over the years, he won numerous national and regional awards as a printmaker and a painter, including the top award in Watercolor USA (twice), State of the Art National Watercolor Invitational (twice) and many top awards in the Michigan Water Color Society annual exhibitions. He served as chair of the Michigan Water Color Society, president of the Michigan Association of Printmakers and artist/advisor to the Graphic Arts Council of the Detroit Institute of Arts and served as a juror and speaker at many venues. In 2013, Rosenthal received WSU's prestigious Murray E. Jackson Scholar in the Arts Award. In 2001 he was more thrilled to receive the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching because he loved teaching. He had a big impact on all his students. The highlight of his long career was receiving WSU's prestigious Murray E. Jackson Scholar in the Arts Award in 2013 culminating in a big solo exhibition in Nov. 2014 titled "Memories - the Murray Jackson Award Exhibition and 50 year Retrospective".

Wayne State University will hold a memorial celebration of Professor Stanley Rosenthal's life and accomplishments on Friday, January 15, 2016 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. Further information is available through WSU's Duffy Department of Art and Art History at http://art.wayne.edu or 313-577-2980.
