Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: October 23, 1920 (SNAC; RKDartists; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; BnF authorities; Enciclopédia Itaú Cultural; Le Delarge; Benezit Dictionary of Artists; CLARA; Clark, Lygia) or September 23, 1920 (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.
