Sam Borenstein

Sam Borenstein

Sam Borenstein was a well-known Canadian painter. Born in Lithuania, Borenstein immigrated to Canada in 1921. During his forty-year career he painted numerous scenes of Montreal and Laurentian villages and Quebec landscapes bustling with human activity, using brilliant colours and exuberant brushwork. Borenstein was best known for his cityscapes and rural scenes, but also produced numerous portraits and still lifes.

In 1992, Joyce Borenstein, the artist's daughter and a highly respected film animator and artist in her own right, produced an animated film entitled "The Colours of My Father: A Portrait of Sam Borenstein", which was nominated for an Academy Award.
