Photography

Sabine Weiss was a Swiss photographer known for humanistic black-and-white imagery that documented postwar European daily life with particular attention to children, urban streets, and intimate domestic moments. Working primarily in 35mm film from the 1940s onward, her practice combined the formal clarity of modernist photography with an empathetic eye for the overlooked gestures and expressions of ordinary people. Her work appeared in major European and American publications throughout the mid-twentieth century.
