Berman, Art and Artists of South Africa, (Cape Town, 1983), p.233.Kibel went to South Africa, via a circuitous route, as a refugee in 1929. For most of his adult life he was affected by tuberculosis, which was exacerbated by terrible living conditions and poverty. He received a great deal of critical abuse at his first South African exhibition in 1931, yet he persevered and became close to several important South African artists of the day.IMPORTANT NOTICE: The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) has declared this lot a work of national importance and has declined a permit for its export.
