I'm looking for a specific artist whose works have caught my interested but whose name I've forgotten.
Here what I know so far: He's one of the more famous surrealistic artists of his time, probably Italian, as far as I know, and human-animal chimaeras were one of the recurring theme in his paintings.

Dali sticks out, as the most famous surrealist. I don't explicitly recall any human-animal chimeras, but he could have some. I don't think its Magritte, or Roy. Chirico perhaps...Tanguy...?
If there is any specific work that you could describe, that would help us out. You might also want to check with the art forumers..

Thanks for providing the link, thisisntwally. I'll go through the list when I find the time for it.
Giving more informations is kind of tricky, since I only ever saw his paintings in a movie about surrealists that was shown in my class, and that's weeks ago. Something that I remember were three (apperently quite famous) small statues from him that had vaguely human forms and were called "family" or by some other simple name. A painting from him that particulary stood out had a lush green backround with a great amount of detail put into it, with antromorphes creatures in the front that seemingly melted with their enviroment.
