Sœur de Georges Jouve, Denyse Gatard se forme à la pratique de la céramique avec lui dès 1945 après avoir fréquenté l'académie de la Grande Chaumière. Créatrice de bijoux, destinée au monde de la couture, elle réalise également dans les années 50 des objets en céramique dans son atelier parisien ou à Aix-en-Provence chez son frère, avec lequel elle partage les mêmes sources d'inspirations, techniques et émaux. Les formes asymétriques et élancées de ses pièces, la délicatesse de ses créations confèrent à son œuvre une grâce saisissante.

Sister of George Jouve, Denyse Gatard started to learn pottery from him in 1945 after studying at the Grande Chaumière in Paris. While she created jewellery for the fashion world, she also made pottery pieces in her Parisian workshop or in Aix-en-Provence with her brother in the 1950s. With him, she shared the same inspirational sources, techniques, and glazes. The asymmetrical and elated forms of her creations as well as their delicacy give her work a unique grace.
