Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: in 1923 (Museum of Modern Art online collection; Artnet; general catalog of BnF) or in 1921 (Carla Arocha & Stéphane Schraenen; Photographers' Identities Catalog; Luminous-Lint; Dictionary of African Biography; NMVW-collection website; Babelio; foto-info.pl; Le Delarge).

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.
