Working in a Neo-Expressionist manner, John Himmelfarb moves easily between abstraction and representation with gestural marks and a propensity for allegory. With bright, bold colors—red is a particular favorite—Himmelfarb depicts real world objects such as buildings and landscapes along with invented characters. These compositions feature open-ended narratives that explore both fear and humor.

Himmelfarb's creation of "No Danger, No Delay" marked the first time the artist worked with the process of screen-printing. Chicago's Goodman Theatre originally commissioned the print for a portfolio corresponding to their production of The Road, by Nigerian political dissident Wole Soyinka. Himmelfarb was happy with the process and the print, and later created a black and white version titled "Coast to Coast".
