Madeleine Sougez
1891-1945
A ceramist, sculptor and designer of the Art Deco period, Madeleine Sougez led one of the main sections of Atelier Primavera, the art studio of the Printemps department store. She was married to the photographer Emmanuel Sougez.
For Primavera she designed vases, covered pots and anthropomorphic or mythological jars in polychrome faience or painted terracotta, often made with the Céramique d'Art de Bordeaux. She also created faience figurines and, from 1925 to 1935, carved and painted wooden toys.
