}Limitations and assumptions
This tool contains bounded introductory text for the listed topics. It does not search the original work, install a complete scholarly catalog, establish a current consensus or assess an artwork, observer or community. Stored reference pointers must be checked against the edition and interpretive context you need.
Supply explicit values and dense aligned arrays. Unexpected fields, wrong types and nonfinite scalar values are rejected; fixed-token, alignment and other branch conditions are explained above. A successful false flag, empty match list or unknown-evidence list differs from an input error. Extremely large inputs or nonrepresentable results may fail.
MoMA documents Nazi confiscation and the 1937 exhibition context. The persecutory label is presented historically and is not adopted as a valid judgment about artists or artworks.2
