"The Breath which Leads All Creatures is also in the Spheres" (1882) is a lithograph by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The artwork depicts a winged figure, a cherub, with a prominent eye peering from behind a round orb. Redon's characteristic use of black and white creates a dramatic and mystical atmosphere, typical of the symbolist movement, which sought to express inner emotions and ideas through visual imagery. The work is a powerful example of Redon's fascination with the interplay between the physical and the spiritual, and his exploration of the themes of life, death, and the divine.
