Link to Eye on Harvard's interview of John Himmelfarb
John Himmelfarb was a resident artist in Kohler's Arts & Industry
program from September - November 2007. (link
to John's work from the residency)
John Himmelfarb received a commission from the City of Chicago to create an installation of his library card drawings for the Bucktown/ Wicker Park library. Those drawings have now been installed and can be viewed in the second floor atrium.
John Himmelfarb is an established artist whose lush, calligraphic
drawings and paintings have always been driven by an unceasing devotion
to line. Consistently blurring the boundaries between drawing and painting,
Himmelfarb revels in line’s evocative potential to create a synthesis
of graphic sign, text and elusive image that challenges one’s ability
to interpret visual language.
