Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: July 9, 1911 (IdRef; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; BnF authorities; SNAC; Integrated Authority File) or July 19, 1911 (Leidse Hoogleraren).
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.
