De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex: A Timeless Modernist Masterpiece Illuminated This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, bathed in the soft glow of interior lighting against the inky darkness of night. Taken by renowned photographer Herbert Felton in 1935, just shortly after the completion of this modernist architectural gem, the image encapsulates the pavilion's unique character and enduring allure. Designed by architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff, the De La Warr Pavilion was a groundbreaking building when it opened in 1935. Its sleek, curved lines and innovative use of materials such as steel, concrete, and glass were a departure from the traditional architectural styles of the time. The building was intended to be a cultural hub for the community, with a concert hall, ballroom, art gallery, and cafeteria. The nighttime scene in Felton's photograph highlights the pavilion's distinctive silhouette, with the interior lighting casting intriguing shadows against the building's exterior. The reflection of the lights on the calm, dark water of the English Channel adds an ethereal quality to the image, creating a sense of tranquility and mystery. Today, the De La Warr Pavilion remains a beloved and iconic building, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its unique design and rich history. The pavilion continues to serve as a cultural center, hosting a diverse range of events and exhibitions that reflect the vibrant artistic and community spirit of Bexhill-on-Sea and East Sussex.
