a couple more artists who were submitted that i don't think qualify or i'm not sure about but would appreciate some feedback from people who might know more about them or have Opinions:

Alexandra Exter - russian? born in białystok, studied in kyiv, painted in russia and france

Fernand Léger - i guess his wife was polish (belariussian?) but apart from this i can't think of any reason he should be in

Elisa Bloch - born in wrocław when it was german, emigrated to france as a kid

Olga Chernysheva - come on, she is just straight up russian????

Ryan Gander - british but the submitted sculpture is exhibited in poland

Theodor Erdmann Kalide - german, lived in the prussian partition, the sculpture submitted is in bytom

Theodore Roszak - born in poznań, emigrated to the US as a kid

Anastasia Rydlevskaya - belarussian, lives and works in gdańsk

Fanny Rabel - born in lublin, emigrated to paris then mexico as a child

additionally:

Wit Stwosz - no dobra, niemiec, ale jest na tyle ikoniczny i w powszechnym mniemaniu spolszczony, że raczej go zaakceptuję

anonimowy probably niemiecki autor ołtarza św. jadwigi śląskiej - primo anonimowy, secundo ołtarz od 600 lat jest w polsce, więc też zaakceptujemy

Paweł Merwart - kinda sorta probably more french than polish but we had him in the previous tournament and also his biography and his work slap so i want him in the tournament

#what have i gotten myself into trying to decide nationalities of 19th century people from kresy or śląsk #ziemia jest globalną wioską etc etc nationalities don't matter #maybe i should make a bracket for these artists only or sth #anyway the general rule was ''if they were educated in poland or under polish artists then its enough''#so if you know sth about the education of these guys im not sure about this should be enough to sway me #imo everyone except leger and chernysheva can go in?
