Johann Baptist Weiss was a 19th century German marine painter.
Peter Fischli and David Weiss, often shortened to Fischli/Weiss, were a Swiss artist duo that collaborated beginning in 1979. Their best-known work is the film Der Lauf der Dinge (1987), described by The Guardian as being "post apocalyptic", as it concerned chain reactions and the ways in which objects flew, crashed and exploded across the studio in which it was shot.
David Weiss was a Swiss painter, one of the members of the artistic duo Fischli & Weiss.
The artists' photographs, sculptures, installations and films explore unusual transformations of ordinary objects and situations through a comic radicality and love of play. At the core of all their work is a childlike spirit of discovery that invites the viewer to look at their surroundings in a new way. In the world of Fischli & Weiss, everyday objects take on unexpected properties — they balance on top of each other, play and collide.
Emil Rudolf Weiss was a German painter, typographer, graphic designer and poet.
Weiss studied at the Karlsruhe Academy of Fine Arts, then at the Julian Academy, and published his first collection of poetry. In 1895, he began his work in book arts by designing typefaces for the art magazine Pan. He also worked on the design and illustration of various publications. In 1907, he joined the Berlin Secession.
Weiss's first graphic works were influenced by Symbolism and Jugendstil, as well as the works of Edvard Munch and Felix Vallotton. From 1910, Weiss increasingly defined himself as a painter, creating still lifes, portraits, landscapes and genre scenes. Weiss developed many typefaces and coin designs. In 1907-33 Weiss taught at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Berlin, which from 1924 was merged with the State Higher School of Art. From the 1920s, Emil Rudolf Weiss was the representative of the Flechtheim Gallery.
The Nazi regime subjected Emil Weiss to persecution, banning his paintings as well as teaching, and he died of a heart attack in 1942.

Sabine Weiss is a Swiss artist and photographer who became known for her street photography and portraits. In 1942 she moved to Zurich to study photography with Hans Finsler, where she met her future husband, the American artist Hugh Weiss.
After the Second World War, Weiss moved to Paris and began working as a freelance photographer. She became associated with the humanist photography movement, which sought to capture the daily lives of people in cities. Weiss' photographs often focused on working class neighbourhoods, street scenes and children's lives. Her photographs were known for their sensitivity and empathy as well as her strong sense of composition and use of light.
Weiss's work was exhibited widely throughout her life and she received numerous awards and prizes, including the Niepce Prize in 1955 and the Grand Prix National Photography Award in 1995. Her photographs have been collected by major museums and institutions around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris.
