Moses “Moe” Reinblatt was a Montreal-based painter and teacher. Reinblatt studied under the Canadian painters Anne Savage and Alexandre Bercovitch, developing an appreciation for postimpressionism. Reinblatt joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942, working as an airframe mechanic while painting scenes of fellow workers involved in the war effort. He exhibited his wartime paintings at the Art Association of Montreal, which earned him several awards and an appointment as an official war artist in 1944. Reinblatt served overseas until 1945, when he returned to Montreal and began teaching drawing and graphic art at the Montreal Museum’s School of Fine Arts and Design. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including the 1968 Canada Centennial Medal for his outstanding service to Canada.
