ARY JEAN LÉON BITTER French, 1883-1973 The Greyhound and The Cat Lost-wax cast and patinated bronze signed in base "ary Bitter" and sealed with Susse cachet, signed in cast "cire purdue", signed "Susse Frs. Ets. Paris" Item # 304LJP22P A very scarce example of Bitter's work, this fluid and beautifully captured model depicts of a showdown between a greyhound and a household cat. The freshness of the mold it was captured from is self-evident with a nearly total absence of any notable cold-tooling throughout the surfaces. The signature is sharp to the touch, raised as if Bitter's stylus has only just shaped the wax of the model it was cast from. The untouched original surface patina is brilliant with a chaotic interplay of colors from vivid verdigris to autumnal browns and oranges. Edited by the house of Susse and cast with the lost-wax method.

A fluid and beautifly captured model of Doe & Faun, the freshness of the md it was captured from is self-evident with a nearly total absence of any notable cd-toing throughout the surfaces. The signature is sharp and raised like Bitter's stylus has only just shaped the surrounding waxes the model was cast from. Edited by the house of Susse and cast with the lost-wax method. Ary Jean Léon Bitter Born in Marseilles, France on May 29th of 1883, Ary Jean Léon Bitter began his studies under the guidance of Emile Aldebert at the Marseille Beaux Arts in 1895 and later under Jes Coutant. He left Marseilles for Paris where he joined the studio of scptor Louis-Ernest Barrias and in 1906 was admitted into Éce Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. There he received honourable mention for his exhibit of l'Enfant au chevreau in 1910. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français between 1912 and 1939, receiving a bronze medal in 1913, a silver medal in 1921 and a gd medal in 1924. He was distinguished with the classification of "hors-concours", allowing him to enter exhibition without jury approval and was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1932. He also achieved a final gd medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1937. Many of his smaller works were cast by Susse Freres, the renowned Parisian foundry with whom he claborated to produce several limited editions. Bitter specialized in the scpture of animals, but he had great breadth to his work and produced a varied body of scpture in the Art Nouveau taste with groups of figures combined with animals.

A rare and fine work by Ary Bitter and cast by Susse Freres in Paris, this small Modernism sculpture captures a young goat in mid-stride as it runs through a field. The work has an overall waxy and silky smooth surface from the lost-wax casting process, the surface finished in a complex green, black and brown patination.

Impressive pair of bronze elephant bookends by the famous French artist Ary Bitter. The bronze sculptures have a beautiful patina and stand on wooden bases, circa 1920. Cast by Susse...

A rich and sensitive work, this fine sculpture beautifully depicts the protective nature of the proud Elephant as she stands over her young. The loose impressionism and rough working of the model is captured in the bronze in a way that leaves us with a sense of being very close to the artist's vision. A heavy impasto in the shaping of the model gives us a wonderful a sense of motion, an attempt to capture an incomplete story that remains in flux. As a lost-wax casting, the model was signed "Ary Bitter", "Susse Fre. Ede. Paris" and "cire perdue" in the wax prior to being cast, rather than the signatures being engraved or worked into the model afterwards. It is finished in a complex variated brown patination with hints of red-oxide with highlights intentionally relieved for effect. A tiny cold-stamped "FRANCE" is visible along the lower front edge. The work is raised over a sculpted solid rosewood base, reeded and undulating with a movement that compliments the work beautifully.
