Wojciech Weiss (1875-1950) was a prominent Polish painter and draughtsman of the Young Poland movement.
Weiss was born on 4th May 1875 in Bukovina to a Polish family, Stanisław Weiss and Maria Kopaczyńska who were in exile. He gave up music training to study art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Leon Wyczółkowski.
Weiss originally painted historical or mythological paintings, but later switched to Expressionism after being profoundly influenced by Stanisław Przybyszewski. Weiss later became a member of the Vienna Secession. He was one of the first Polish Art Nouveau poster designers. Near the end of his life, he made several significant contributions to Socialist realism paintings in Poland.
Weiss died on 7th December 1950.
