Karl Keck (born March 17, 1893  in Munich ; † July 16, 1930 ibid) was a German landscape and vedute painter .

Life

After attending Ludwigsrealschule, Keck studied at Heinrich Knirr's painting school and at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts with professors Hermann Groeber and Franz von Stuck .

A collective exhibition in the Paulus Gallery in 1923 brought him and his work special attention. In 1929 he took part in the association's first art show as a member of the artists' association "The Independent". His studio was at Hermann-Schmid-Straße 3.

plant

Keck specialized in landscape and city pictures as well as the representation of interiors and still lifes. Frequent motifs were the representative halls of the residence, castles and palaces of Munich (see Fig. Festsaal der Badenburg). The painter's versatility is evident in his oeuvre, which also includes pictures of people and portraits (e.g. gypsy, little flower friend) as well as compositions with religious themes (e.g. crucifixion).
