ATELIER MADOURA - SUZANNE DOULY-RAMIÉ (1905-1974) & GEORGES RAMIÉ (1901-1976) Atelier Madoura, founded in 1938 by the Ramié couple, played an essential role in the revival of the Vallaurian tradition, and of post-war ceramics in general. Driven by her sensitivity and talent for design, Suzanne Ramié reinvented popular ceramic forms in pieces with bold, sculptural volumes, sublimated by her use of refined glazes. This daring creativity soon attracted great artists, including the unmissable Pablo Picasso. Their twenty-five-year collaboration would unquestionably shape and renew the ceramic language for their contemporaries and for generations to come.
