Foo - Help me think of this artist's name

There is a room dedicated to his work in the Chicago Museum. He does these very stylized jungle scapes, almost pointillism, uses bold colors that sorta of look like tempura paint.
He compared himself to Picasso saying that he painted in the classic style and Picasso in the Egyptian style.

Anyone know who I'm trying to think up?

Anyone know who I'm trying to think up?what time period?

First half of the 20th century.
He was not well received when he was active but gained acclaim later.

Stylized trees and animals.

I don't know if he has a room in the Chicago Art Museum, but the name that came to mind for me was Georges Seurat

*edit, missed "jungle themes", Seurat doesn't fit.

hmm...

Nope, but you are on the right track. More whimsical style.

Something like this?

Wow, my guess was way off.
