I just gave a hint, sat back, and lo!!! The right answers keep streaming 
in!! Fantastic cooperation!
Thank you Mike and Gilles for your answers. You did a better job than I 
could have done actually.

Yes, Jim, that was what I was thinking about when I saw Txemi's work. More

They are very appealing, almost like fore-runners of scifi with their 
celebration of geometry and also the illusions of scale.

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.
