Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: April 2, 1902 (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; BnF authorities; Integrated Authority File; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Academy of Arts, Berlin; Tschichold, Jan; SNAC) or May 2, 1902 (The Fine Art Archive).
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.
