Sun Dazzle is a 1962 by James Edward Bostock, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a wavy, dreamy landscape with a river cutting through the middle. The trees and bushes have thick, swirling lines that almost look like they’re moving. The sky is split into odd shapes, and the whole scene feels a little off-kilter, like a view through water or a heat haze. The artist used only black and white, but the different textures create depth—some areas are smooth, others look rough or scratched. The way the lines overlap gives it a busy, almost busy feeling, like nature seen through a distorted lens.
