Talk:Marianne von Werefkin

Her birth date
Although there are many web sites that give her birth date as September 11, there are more that give it as August 29 (OS), for example, these:, and. This one gives both, but clearly one is in error, because the difference between the two calendars in the nineteenth century was 12 days. I suspect there was an initial miscalculation of the NS date, based on the 13-day difference in the twentieth century, and many subsequent articles used that without rechecking.

Werefkin and Jawlensky
The article stated that Jawlensky desired to make Werefkin his protégé. I guess somebody misunderstood the word protégé, since Werefkin was the mentor, not Jawlensky. I already corrected this. But there is the question of the desiring: Did really Jawlensky seek out Werefkin? -- Tomdo08 (talk) 07:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
