"Wojciech Weiss is one of the purest painting temperaments in Polish art. The joy of putting colors on canvas, the delight of painting is for him equivalent to life. The subject, the anecdote, - this is just a pretext. To be a painter and only a painter! To canvas his and the surrounding world with the help of tones! To experience artistic sensations! Colorful emotions! Weiss is impressionism! "
Stanisław Świerz, Wojciech Weiss, [in:] "Sztuki Piękne", R. 2, no. 4, 1925-26, p. 145.


"Weiss's landscapes shrouded in air infused with light, taken quite individually, and grasped and rendered with all the sincerity of the simplicity of an artist who empathizes with them. Sun and light in every season of the year and day, in nature Weiss senses like no one in our country
before"
