"The Misshapen Polyp Floating on the Shores" is a notable lithograph by the French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created in 1883 as part of his "Dans le Rêve" (In the Dream) series. This work exemplifies Redon's fascination with the world of dreams, fantasy, and the macabre, which he often explored through a monochromatic palette, primarily using the medium of charcoal and lithography before his later transition to pastels and oils with vibrant colors.

The lithograph features an otherworldly creature, a polyp, which Redon renders with a haunting and ambiguous form, floating against a dark, undefined background. The image evokes a sense of the uncanny, as the polyp's tentacle-like appendages and indistinct features challenge the viewer's perception and understanding of natural forms. Redon's interest in the works of naturalists like Charles Darwin and the microscopic world is evident in this piece, as he magnifies and distorts the minute life forms to explore themes of evolution, transformation, and the unseen forces of nature.

Redon's work, including "The Misshapen Polyp Floating on the Shores," is often associated with the Symbolist movement, which sought to represent ideas and emotions through evocative and sometimes abstract imagery rather than direct representation. This piece, like many others by Redon, invites introspection and personal interpretation, engaging the viewer's imagination to find meaning in the enigmatic subject matter.

The lithograph is significant in the context of Redon's oeuvre and the broader Symbolist movement, as it encapsulates the artist's ability to blend the boundaries between reality and the imaginary, and to delve into the psychological depths of human experience. "The Misshapen Polyp Floating on the Shores" remains an influential work, reflecting the artist's unique vision and his contribution to the development of modern art at the turn of the 20th century.
