* Ary Jean Léon Bitter (1883-1973)
was a French sculptor. A member of the Société des Artistes français and a pupil of Jules Coutan, Ary Bitter won a silver medal at the 1921 Salon des Artistes français, followed by a gold medal in 1924.
In 1925, Ary Bitter exhibited alongside Paul Sylvestre, Maximilien Fiot, Roger Godchaux and Georges Guyot at the Galerie Susse on Boulevard de la Madeleine. The same year, he exhibited at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, and during the interwar period had twenty-nine of his works published by Susse and a further sixteen by Les Neveux de J. Lehmann. His consecration came when he was declared hors-concours at the 1932 Salon, and was awarded the Légion d'honneur the same year. In 1937, Bitter took part in the Exposition Internationale des Arts et des Techniques in Paris, where he exhibited glassware and chamotte stoneware with Bouraine at the Palais de la Céramique, and Héraklès, a bronze, at the Palais du Métal, with Guyot, Guino and Fiot.
