"Dessin Mediumnique" is a term that refers to a collection of drawings created by the French artist Fernand Desmoulin (1853–1914) under what he claimed to be the influence of spiritual entities. Desmoulin, originally known for his caricatures and illustrations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, experienced a significant shift in his artistic career when he became involved with spiritualism. Around 1900, he began producing a series of automatic drawings, which he asserted were the result of mediumistic abilities rather than his conscious artistic intent.

These drawings are characterized by intricate, swirling lines and figures that often suggest ethereal, otherworldly presences. They are considered part of the Art Nouveau movement, which was known for its organic forms and decorative style, yet they also prefigure aspects of Surrealism with their exploration of the subconscious and the use of automatism in art. Desmoulin's mediumistic drawings were created during séances, where he believed spirits guided his hand to reveal images from beyond the physical realm.

The "Dessin Mediumnique" series gained attention for its aesthetic qualities as well as its supposed supernatural origins. The works were exhibited in 1909 at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris, which was a significant event in the history of art related to spiritualism and the occult. Critics and the public were divided on the nature of these drawings; some viewed them as genuine manifestations of the spirit world, while others saw them as the products of the artist's subconscious mind.

Fernand Desmoulin's mediumistic drawings remain a subject of interest for both art historians and researchers of paranormal phenomena. They are often cited as early examples of automatic drawing, a technique later adopted by Surrealist artists who sought to tap into the unconscious as a source of creativity. The "Dessin Mediumnique" works are held in various private collections and museums, and they continue to be studied for their artistic merit and their place within the broader context of spiritualist art at the turn of the 20th century.
