# In My Dream I Saw in the Sky a Face of Mystery, in Marcel Ordinaire's contemporaries

Odilon Redon made this in 1885, aged 45. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> This series is one of many that Odilon Redon created throughout his career. Nearly two-thirds of his lithographs took the form of portfolios—prints connected conceptually by a theme or narrative and physically by a folder or binding.

## The artist

[Odilon Redon](https://www.ochreeditions.com/artists/odilon-redon), French, 1840–1916

Redon spent three decades working almost entirely in black: charcoal drawings he called his “noirs” and albums of lithographs peopled with floating eyes, strange plants and dreamlike heads, which made him a hero of the Symbolist writers.

7 works in the collection.
