He attended Westminster School and graduated in literature from Oxford University, studying art at Slade School of Fine Art and Westminster School of Art. His work owed much to the Impressionists.

Reitlinger was perhaps best known for his articles and books on the history of taste, the contemporary world and the archaeology of Iraq and for his important collection of ceramics, given to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
