Dora Jane Janson

Dora Jane Janson, née Heineberg (1916-2002) was an American art historian, who collaborated with her husband Horst W. Janson.[1]

Life edit

Dora Jane Heineberg was born in Philadelphia.[1] She studied art history at Radcliffe College, where she met Horst W. Janson, an émigré graduate student at Harvard University.[2] The couple married after he had gained his PhD in 1941. Janson "never denied that she consciously sacrificed her career to raise children".[1] She helped her husband with his 1952 monograph Apes and Ape Lore in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, providing an "exemplary index".[3] She also collaborated as co-author with her husband on The Story of Painting for Young People (1954) and History of Art (1962). History of Art entirely excluded women painters.[4]

Dora Janson's From slave to siren (1971), an extensive catalog of a Duke University Museum of Art exhibition on Victorian women's jewellery, related the jewelry to changing 19th-century ideals of feminine beauty and behaviour,[5] reflected in cameo portraiture.[6]

Janson died in Devon, Pennsylvania. Her son Anthony Janson is also an art historian.[1]
