Life

Lieck was the son of the teacher Heinrich Lieck (1808-1865) and his wife Louise (born von den Hoff, 1810-1900). From 1867 he successfully attended the Academy of Arts in Berlin . His teacher was Julius Schrader . Lieck was a typical genre painter who, in addition to his children's pictures, repeatedly painted portraits of flirtatious young women. These subtle, erotic paintings were typical of the turn of the century . He was particularly gifted in distinguishing between the soft and delicate types of female beauty. For his advanced training, he went on study trips to Italy.

In 1899, Lieck was a portrait painter in the Berlin local association of the Allgemeine Deutsche Kunstgenossenschaft , the umbrella organization for all German-speaking artists' associations.

  • Lieck's best-known work was the Moselle flower , which he painted in 1886 and was exhibited at the anniversary exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin in the state exhibition building from May to October 1886. It was not until the end of the 19th century. the Moselle girls are shown in pictures in the Prussian Empire as typically with a dainty headdress. They wear a colorful costume, modern at the time, consisting of a dress, apron and shawl. Josef Lieck painted a young woman, whose head and forehead are covered by a wreath of hair made of vine leaves, and who is dressed in a shoulder-width scarf, a loose blouse and bodice, decorated in the same way. The girl is holding a goblet filled with wine in her left hand, raised to face level. Joseph Lieck painted this motif several times.
