His name doesn't get used enough. I absolutely love his designs. They're all so streamlined and clean. Yet they still feel naturalistic. I especially love his scale. Him and Sibbick are the best when it comes to depicting dinosaurs as "Epic" All while depicting realistic behavior

Redon’s later works, from the late 1890s are more colourful and he experimented in mixed media and easel paintings. Redon's non-naturalistic colours inspired the Fauvists, and his use of unreal imagery and his method of arranging objects in an unreal manner anticipates Surrealism
