Heyer's works are artistically shaped by the expressive realism of the interwar generation. He primarily dealt with the human figure or the female nude, with his wife Erika Löber (married in 1943 in Berlin) often serving as his model. The first abstractions were created from 1949, which also shaped the artist's late work. Occasionally he created wood or linocuts that were processed in color.
