Romaine, I was wondering about the same thing as Yaroslav. As I have understood the URAA stuff up to now, I think a work by Kandinsky (died Dec 1944) is problematic but this one for example is OK (author died in 1943, but the work is dated before 1923): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Angorakatze1903.jpg
