Belle and Bilitis in Belgium

Some time ago Max decided to take a trip to Belgium together with Belle and Bilitis.
They lived in a gipsy wagon for a while and strolled along the beaches of Blankenberge and Cadzand.
The days where full of joy and freedom and a set of unique beautiful pictures evolved from this feelings.

As always the pictures of Max Stolzenberg are available in different sizes and strictly limited to 300 copies.
Each picture is autographed by the artist himself, titled and dry stamped to ensure originality.
Now you have the golden opportunity to get one of the very first prints.

Special thanks go to our friend Willem, who let us do photos in his beautiful house.

Pictures can be ordered here.

Une dernière leçon de mon école

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.

The publishing date is set for the 15th. of May.

Max Stolzenberg – The Polaroids Part I

In 1972 American physicist and industrial Edwin Herbert Land (1909-1991) introduced the SX-70 camera to the world.
From 1951 to 1954 Land was also president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The SX-70 camera was the first one to use integral film and made it possible to shoot and develop pictures in literally no time without the hassle of separation film.

Polaroid film has always fascinated all kind of artists from Andy Warhol to Helmut Newton and last but not least the true master of light David Hamilton.
On one occasion David told Max an interesting story about his meeting with Edwin Land.
Edwin had sponsored David with all kind of camera equipment and films, especially SX-70 film and cameras.

David showed Edwin his pictures, but when it came to the nudes his face dropped and as David said with a smile “That was it with Edwin Land. I didn’t get any sponsoring any more.”
You have to know that Edwin was a strictly religious mormon!

Despite that little anecdote David went on to use SX-70 film for some of his beautiful photos until his death in 2016.

Max is a big fan of integral film too. He always carries his 1974 SX-70 Land camera with him. The subtle low fidelity feeling, the muted colors and the artistic potential of this film are just magic.

 From today we want to feature his Polaroids with a new series of clips on our YouTube channel.

 

All pictures can be purchased as personally autographed and dry stamped prints (limited to 300 worldwide) from us.

The prices for the different sizes can be seen in the shop.

Simply write to Bilitis to place your order. She will help you through the ordering process.
