"The Magnolia Beach Club"

$950.00Price

This evocative watercolor painting captures the haunting beauty of the abandoned ruins of the former Magnolia Beach Club and McKenzie’s Motel building, between Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island, S.C., long forgotten since 1954.

 

The artwork portrays the remnants of this once-vibrant African American beach resort, a place that offered respite and joy during the era of segregation. Soft washes of yellow ochre and vibrant indigo blue create a nostalgic atmosphere, emphasizing the weathered structure and crumbling walls that tell stories of a bygone era. The surrounding marsh, hints at the lively gatherings and laughter that once filled the air.

 

The gentle ebb and flow of the waves in the distance contrasts with the stillness of the ruins, symbolizing the passage of time and the enduring spirit of the community that cherished this historic site.

 

This painting honors the legacy of Magnolia Beach Club, celebrating its significance as a cultural landmark while inviting viewers to reflect on the rich history that shaped it.
