V. F. Ctibor,
’36
Vero Beach, Florida
March 1, 1999
After a mild heart attack in 1970, Dr. Ctibor retired to Florida in pursuit of his first love, painting. This became a second career as he produced more than 600 works. He became quite reclusive, and only competed locally. Therefore his reputation is only regional. Dr. Ctibor suffered from progressive color blindness which, in fact, contributed somewhat to his unique style. He was always surprised and flattered when the public actually paid him for his creations, and he was the recipient of many local awards. Examples of his work are in the permanent collection of the Center for the Arts in Vero Beach, as well as many private collections around the country. Dr. Ctibor was preceded in death by his wife Norna.
