Admired by the Symbolists and the Post-Impressionist generation of Bonnard, Vuillard, et al., claimed as an influence on the Surrealists, Redon nonetheless stands apart from any movement. His art is above all personal, attempting through unexpected juxtapositions to convey a logic of dreams, or, as he put it, a "logic of the visible in the service of the invisible."

Redon owed his first fame to his lithographs, whose rich blacks were the envy of fellow artists and the delight of collectors. Fitch-Febvrel has long specialized in Redon's prints.
