His mother died of [puerperal fever](/source/puerperal_fever) one week after his birth. Heiberg's first wife (from 1913 to 1920) was the sculptor [Sigri Welhaven](/source/Sigri_Welhaven). In 1922 he married the painter Agnes Mannheimer, who died in 1934. In 1954 he married Anna Cleve (1916–1996).{{cite encyclopedia |title=Jean Heiberg |encyclopedia=[Norsk biografisk leksikon](/source/Norsk_biografisk_leksikon)|first=Glenny |last=Alfsen |editor=[Helle, Knut](/source/Knut_Helle) |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |location=Oslo|url=http://www.snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Jean_Heiberg/utdypning |language=Norwegian|accessdate=22 January 2011}} ==Career== Heiberg finished his [secondary education](/source/examen_artium) at [Hamar](/source/Hamar) in 1903. He studied at the [Royal Drawing School](/source/Norwegian_National_Academy_of_Craft_and_Art_Industry) (''Den Kongelige Tegneskole'') in Kristiania from 1903 to 1904, and in [Munich](/source/Munich) from 1904 to 1905. He studied at the [Académie Colarossi](/source/Acad%C3%A9mie_Colarossi) in Paris in 1905. After a period in Kristiania, he moved to Paris again, and was a student of [Henri Matisse](/source/Henri_Matisse) from 1908 to 1910. After his marriage in 1913, the couple stayed in Rome and Florence the following year. Among Heiberg's paintings are ''Boksekamp'' from 1910 and ''Enken'' from 1915, which are both located in [National Gallery of Norway](/source/National_Gallery_of_Norway). Other paintings include ''Mor og barn'' and ''Eftasvæl'', both from 1916. His self-portrait ''Selvportrett ved staffeliet'' is also located at the National Gallery. He is represented at the National Gallery with a total of 30 paintings and several sculptures. Among his bronze sculptures are ''Helge'' from 1925 and ''Hode'' from 1928. In the 1920s he also designed pieces of furniture. In the early 1930s he co-designed a telephone for [Elektrisk Bureau](/source/Elektrisk_Bureau). It was claimed to be the world's first "hookless" [bakelite](/source/bakelite) telephone; that is, the first telephone where the cradle, or receiver hook, was integrated into the all-bakelite body. The phone went into production in 1932 as the [Ericsson](/source/Ericsson) model ''DBH1001''. The engineering design of this model was made by Norwegian electrical engineer Johan Christian Bjerknes (1889–1983). Heiberg was responsible for the stylistic design.{{cite web|url= https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/people/18044643/|title= Johan Christian Bjerknes|publisher= Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum |accessdate= 1 December 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.ericssonhistory.com/templates/ericsson/Article.aspx?id=2095&ArticleID=3159&CatID=360&epslanguage=EN |title=The Bakelite telephone 1931 |first=Lasse |last=Brunnström |publisher=Centre for Business History |location=Stockholm |accessdate=1 February 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004181558/http://www.ericssonhistory.com/templates/ericsson/Article.aspx?id=2095&ArticleID=3159&CatID=360&epslanguage=EN |archivedate= 4 October 2011 }}{{cite web |url=http://www.britishtelephones.com/t300info.htm |title=BPO 300 type telephone info |first=R |last=Freshwater |accessdate=1 February 2011}}{{cite web|url=http://www.telemuseum.no/joomla/images/stories/Telehistorie/telehistoriske%20glimt1.pdf |title=Telehistoriske glimt.
