Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 1, 1912 (The Fine Art Archive; SNAC; arch-pavouk.cz; RKDartists) or January 8, 1912 (MACBA Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
