Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: June 8, 1903 (Integrated Authority File; Biographie Nationale de Belgique; Fichier des personnes décédées mirror; BnF authorities; SNAC; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; Find a Grave) or June 7, 1903 (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.
