We invite you to see the first pictures of Ines whose beauty was perpetuated on celluloid by Max just a few days ago. This is also your chance to get the number one of these, as we think, very beautiful pictures.
The first real rays of sunshine shone through the windows in Max’s villa. Ines had already arrived early in the morning and from now on the clicking of Max’s old Minolta SRT-101 would be heard throughout the house.
Ines and Bilitis lying on the bed, reading in Olivier Mathieu’s novel “A Firenze muore un’estate” The unbelievably soft light at this morning made the picture just look like a painting from centuries ago! We invite you to read Olivier Mathieu’s novels yourself, especially his new work “Les Enfants des Aprems”. You can get his books via his homepage.
Max is a great connoisseur and fan of classical painting. So it is no wonder that Bilitis can be seen here in a pose familiar from Renaissance nudes.
All pictures from Max’s last shooting can be bought directly from us. For prices and different sizes go to the shop. You can also directly write to Bilitis who will help you through the process of ordering a picture from us.
We wish you a lot of fun with the pictures of Ines. Just click on one of the images and enjoy!
All pictures are available in different sizes and strictly limited to 300 copies. Each picture is autographed by the Max Stolzenberg himself, titled and dry stamped to ensure originality.
Some of the pictures on this site have never been published before and it might still be possible to get hold of the number 1 of 300 prints.
We also highly recommend to visit our atelier. Here you can convince yourself of the high quality, painting like, pictures and the wonderful workmanship of our limited prints.
Max uses only analog cameras and genuine film for his artwork!
The first rays of spring sunshine beckon and Max has invited Kia-Kirsch and Lycil to a very special romantic weekend.
Both are to be seen in a real film clip for the first time.
The premiere will take place on 5.13.2021 at 21:00 CET on Youtube and we invite everyone to watch this wonderful romantic film, which is accompanied by the instrumental piece “Emotion” by Francis Lai.
Olivier’s next book is called “The children of the afternoons (Les enfants des Aprems)” and is dedicated to Roland Jaccard.
Those “children of the afternoons” are Oliver when he was young, little Gabriel who died in December 2019 (see our article “another ship of sunshine”), and a young girl who is probably the real hero of this book…
Here you can read what the author himself says about his latest work.
The Children of the Afternoons (Les Enfants des Aprems)
Sometimes, in life, almost unimaginable events occur.
This has happened to me quite often during my hectic life, but I could not have known that on April 8, 2021, the most unimaginable of all the unimaginable events of my life would turn out to be.
Struck in the heart, I have just written a small book, a very small book, certainly the book I wrote the fastest (in less than a fortnight), my most essential book. And if my friend the jew writer Roland Jaccard was recently kind enough to write that my book « Ma petite bande de jeunes filles en fleurs » (My little band of young girls in bloom) was « a masterpiece », I don’t know what he will say about my new book, which will be only a few dozen pages long (I still don’t know the exact number). The best of everything I’ve written, I think.
I therefore announce that a new book of me has just left for the printing press, that it is called The Children of the Afternoons (Les Enfants des Aprems: aprem being naturally the afternoon apocope and defining the happiest period of my life, my childhood).
It is a book that will be written in French, of course, but with passages in english). It was inspired by the woman of my life. The Children of the Afternoons (this is the main title, but there will also be a sub-title) will consist of twelve short chapters. A book of suffering and joy, when these two terms lose all meaning, that suffering is joy, and joy suffering.
The themes of the book? The distance in time and space, before the definitive distance from death. Love, entropy and aporia.
It should also be noted that Roland Jaccard (who collaborated with an unpublished text in Olivier Mathieu’s book “Ma petite bande de jeunes filles en fleurs”) has just published a huge book, “Le monde d’avant”, his diary of the 1980s, published by Serge Safran. The book has already been listed on the left-wing newspaper Libération, on the right-wing newspaper Le Point, and on Olivier Mathieu’s blog.
Here is what the publisher tells us about Roland Jaccard and his new book
A l’âge de 26 ans, Roland Jaccard est engagé par le journal Le Monde pour y tenir la rubrique psychanalytique : c’était dans les années soixante.
Tout semblait alors possible. Même qu’un jeune Lausannois puisse occuper un poste aussi convoité. Il se trouve qu’au début des années quatre-vingt il se lie à une jeune fille de dix-sept ans, rencontrée à la bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. Dès lors qu’ils vécurent ensemble, il décida de tenir son journal intime.
La psychanalyse a perdu de son aura et il est déconseillé aujourd’hui aux vieux mâles blancs de jouer les Pygmalions. On n’en découvrira donc qu’avec plus de curiosité “Le Monde d’avant” dans ce journal écrit avec une forme de spontanéité jubilatoire.
Max also did some beautiful still photography of Kia and Lycil during the film shot.
It will take some time until the pictures are developed, but they will soon be available from us.
The pictures on our site are available in different sizes and strictly limited to 300 copies.
Each picture is autographed by the Max Stolzenberg himself, titled and dry stamped to ensure originality.
The pictures in this article have not been published before and it is still possible to get hold of the number 1 of 300 prints.

Today we will fight the boredom of your isolation with a good shot of literature, a small video of a very interesting man and of course a lot of beautiful girls.
Do you know Roland Jaccard?
The Swiss writer?
Not only did he write books like “The Inner Exile”, “Freud” and “The Madness”, (yes, you’re right, he is a psychologist) which are also in Max’s library by the way, but he is also a big fan of Dawn Dunlap, the actress who played the role of Laura in “Laura, Shadows of a Summer” by David Hamilton.
Visit Roland Jaccard’s blog or read his column in the magazine “Causeur” and enjoy his refreshingly sarcastic, cynical and often nihilistic world view.
He also has a YouTube channel where another of his short videos has just been published.

Although it’s not easy to take pictures of beautiful girls these days, Max has managed to get a real beauty in front of the lens.
Stella, so her name, was already planned for Max’s trip to Florence together with Manouk and Bilitis. But unfortunately, as everyone can imagine, this trip, which would have resulted in some really extraordinary pictures, had to be cancelled.
So we are left with only a few pictures that were taken during a first test shooting with Max.
We don’t want to withhold these pictures from you as a further measure against possible boredom or even depressions caused by isolation.
You can be sure that these are not the last pictures of Stella!
Olivier Mathieu has written a very interesting book about Dawn Dunlap.
As we can see, this beautiful woman has obviously stayed in the minds of many men (and certainly also some women) until today.
Read here on the page of Olivier Mathieu and order his novel about Dawn Dunlap against the boredom of isolation.
It is also recommended to watch her film “Laura, shadows of a summer”, directed by David Hamilton.
Dawn Dunlap by Olivier Mathieu
“Reflections” was shot by Max just a couple of days ago while strolling through the meadows and woods together with Bilitis and Stella.
Max says:
“I hope you enjoyed today’s article on my blog. Read in the books of Roland Jaccard and Olivier Mathieu and if you like my pictures order one or the other of them for your home and let yourself be carried away into a world of beauty and romantic dreams. You will be surprised how good that feels. By the way, Stella is not only very pretty but also an extraordinary interesting personality. I am already very much looking forward to dedicate a really large photo gallery to her.
All pictures you see here can be ordered now. As always on best paper and of course personally titled, numbered and signed by me.
And since we are celebrating David Hamilton’s birthday today, we are giving a 15% discount on every order placed until April 15th at 23:59 (UTC+2).
Olivier Mathieu, who was just writing his next book, asked Max if he could do the cover photo. Of course Max agreed and so he went out with Bilitis and Annette (who assisted Max and also did the making of picture) into the nature, for a book cover photoshoot.
“We where very lucky to have some sun because otherwise it would have been impossible to do the shooting outside” Max says.
It was indeed the only warm day during the last three weeks.
The shooting took place on three different places and Olivier asked Max to have his last book “Je crie à toutes filles mercies“featured on the photo.
The title of the new book will be “Une dernière leçon de mon école” which can be translated as “A last lesson of my school” and refers to the great poet François Villon.
Here are the four suggestions of Max from which Olivier and the publisher chose one.
We do not reveal which photo the cover finally will show. The text will be slightly different in the final version.
“It came out very beautiful and they chose the photo that was my favorite too. It was done in a beautiful hamiltonian light and with a great pose of the girl” Max states.
The book will be printed in a very limited and numbered edition of 300 books. There will be no second edition. It will be a bibliographic rarity.
From this already very limited number of books there will be only 20 copies which are personally autographed by Olivier Mathieu and Max Stolzenberg.
If you are interested in one of these rarities please contact us. The whole edition will be sold out very fast. So please don’t hesitate to write to us.
Olivier Mathieu’s new book “Je cries à toutes filles mercis” is out now and can be ordered from him via his homepage.
Today Max got his example and he really enjoyed reading in it, literally engulfing the first pages.
We are happy to provide you some excerpts from this noteworthy book and we definitely suggest to enrich your library with this novel.
Pourquoi ai-je aimé David Hamilton? C’était un homme qui, en France et au vingtième siècle, disait de son propre milieu, celui de la photographie, qu’il ne s’y connaissait aucun ami. David Hamilton tenait farouchement à son indépendance et n’était membre d’aucun club, d’aucune association, d’aucune loge, d’aucun mouvement, d’aucun syndicat, d’aucun parti. David Hamilton constatait qu’il avait passé chez ses anciens employeurs les années les plus ennuyeuses de sa vie. David Hamilton déclarait noir sur blanc que ses éditeurs étaient des incompétents. David Hamilton, né à Londres, médisait des Anglais. David Hamilton se gaussait des pseudo-révolutionnaires. Et de la pseudo-avant- garde artistique.
***
David Hamilton, l’homme qui n’aimait pas les femmes. David Hamilton, l’homme qui aimait, c’est tellement différent, les jeunes filles! David Hamilton disait: Un pour cent du monde est blond. Puis il photographiait les filles brunes comme les blondes. David Hamilton, ami de l’éternité, de la beauté, du classicisme. David Hamilton était un homme libre. David Hamilton confiait: «Depuis ma plus tendre enfance, j’ai toujours refusé de me conformer. Je me suis insurgé de façon subtile mais ferme contre la banalité du monde où j’étais né. Je n’ai jamais accepté la vie telle qu’on me la présentait et j’ai toujours cherché des horizons meilleurs en fuyant la grisaille de Londres»… Une toute petite goutte de nectar au milieu des égouts du monde moderne. Voici ma définition de l’oeuvre de David Hamilton. Est-il étonnant qu’Olivier Mathieu ait aimé David Hamilton? Un jour, Roland Jaccard m’a écrit ceci: «David Hamilton vous doit beaucoup». C’était comme si le compliment me fût venu, d’outre-tombe, de David Hamilton en personne.
On ne retrouve jamais les jeunes filles, toutes les filles, celles qu’on a eues, celles qu’on a perdues, celles qu’on n’a jamais eues, qu’en les écrivant. Voilà, c’est fait.
***
Ironie du destin, peut-être les jeunes filles les plus mystérieuses, les plus essentielles, les plus lacérantes resteront-elles absentes de l’inventaire donjuanesque, de tout catalogue de Pierre Louÿs, de tout album de David Hamilton, des romans de Roland Jaccard et de ces Mémoires éphébophiles.
***
Ma philosophie de la Jeune Fille a été celle de l’érotisme envisagé comme un jeu. Dans l’oeuvre photographique de David Hamilton, tout pareillement, il n’y a pas de sexe. Pas de sexe génital, en tout cas, parce que le sexe génital n’est pas intéressant. La pénétration, c’est de la boucherie. J’ai préféré que les nymphettes me prodiguent des fellations. J’ai privilégié le cunnilingus. Vive le monde idyllique – mille fois plus réel que l’autre – de la pure sensualité hamiltonienne. Il avait mille fois raison aussi, le personnage du film Emmanuelle qui définissait l’érotisme comme l’art d’humaniser l’acte sexuel. L’érotisme authentique est le règne des jeux enfantins, des étreintes saphiques, et de la passion suprême de Humbert Humbert pour Lolita. David Hamilton ne m’aurait certes pas contredit. Je suis heureux et fier que mon existence entière ait été inspirée par une sensualité non génitale, libérée de la pornographie qui est celle de la pénétration. A toutes les putains, à toutes les coquillardes, à toutes les passantes, à toutes les jeunes filles de David Hamilton, à toutes les héroïnes de Roland Jaccard, à toutes les Lolitas de Vladimir Nabokov, aux filles qui m’ont perdu, aux filles qui m’ont sauvé, à toutes les pures salopes, à toutes les salopes pures, je crie à toutes filles mercis. A toutes filles auxquelles un souvenir était dû, mercis!
Beside this new book of Olivier Mathieu we also point out the following two books of him.
“Jouissive à Venise” and “Châteaux de Sable” which means “Castle made of Sand” are two erotic novels linked together by the fact that they are both devoted to the girl friend of the author.
The story of the first book is about a boy meeting a young girl and asking her if she likes fellatio. He also tells her that he is equipped with a small cock with the intention to find out if she is up to more than only the physical part of sexual interaction. He firmly believes that the brain is the most important sexual organ and he is not interested in a girl who’s sexuality is limited to genital sex.
Her answer pleases him and so they both agree to meet for a week in Venice.
The novel tells the story of this seven days of love and also allows us an insight into the history of the venetian writers of the 18th. century.
Above all the book is about the myth that a man needs to have a big sexual organs to live a fulfilled sexual life and to satisfy his partner. A myth brought to life by our modern culture and the sex industry while, in fact, there where cultures in which just the opposite was en vogue.
The second book, “Château de Sable” is the continuation of “Jouissive à Venise” and it describes the evolution of the characters on their way to the next erotic stage.
Basically it is the story of a person who wants to life in an anti conformal way, even in therms of sensuality.
He prefers emotion to sex and rejects the common way of making love while putting his principles (righteous or not) into practice.
And, to his own amusement, he is very successful in doing so.
Max is sure that Olivier Mathieus books will be very much to the pleasure of everyone who likes sophisticated erotic literature and the beauty of the French language. Both novels are now part of his selection of preferable books.
