Leo Deck was born in 1908 in Bern, where he apprenticed as a typographer. In 1935, he went to Paris where he studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. From 1938, he made many study trips to Paris and Italy. He received federal art grants in 1942 and 1944; in 1945, his work was noticed during the collective exhibition Junge Berner Künstler at the Kunsthalle in Bern.
Leo Deck's work mainly includes landscape paintings in the tradition of Ferdinand Hodler and Cuno Amiet. He mainly set up his easel in the regions of Wohlensee, Morat, Neuchâtel, Thun and Brienz. His figurative work idealizes Parisian strolls on the banks of the Seine, the world of the circus, horse riding and boating in calm waters...
