Yes indeed. I was thinking the same thing when I saw them again. In fact, 
they were the science fiction of the time in a sense. I am not sure to what 

If I remember well,  they were mostly forgotten or ignored until the 
mid-twenty's century, when their work and philosophy were 'rediscovered'.

As a strange sidetrack (the mind is uncontrollable!), I am reminded somehow 

Spilliaert, or those by Giorgio De Chirico.
