As the weather is still too cold for this time of the year we decided to raise the temperatures with some new, red hot pictures.
There is a lot going on this year and Max is already preparing to welcome the most beautiful Jeune Filles in France.
But for now we leave you alone with these new pictures and a beautiful poem written by Olivier Mathieu.

Les amours ont vieilli et les amis sont morts,
Trop nombreux les amours où manqua tout amour
Mais voilà que surgit au fond de ma mémoire
L’image des sommeils au temps de mon enfance,
Le reste ne fut rien, dans les bras de ma mère.
Et défilent mes morts au revers des nuages
Et se posent sur moi les yeux irrésistibles
Et de larmes noyés en un pacte échangé.
C’est les yeux de mon chien, c’est les yeux de mes maîtres,
La nuit était profonde et lourd le conformisme
Et j’ai feint de trahir pour ne jamais trahir.
J’entends encor sonner le concert du triangle
Et c’est l’odeur des foins, l’acier brille au soleil,
C’est les yeux des enfants morts à l’âge de l’ange.
Que m’absolvent mes morts, que le ciel pleure en pluie,
Que les instants d’antan au bel arc-en-ciel brillent.
L’enfance se fait proche, j’en reviens au principe.
Il sera toujours bref, le temps des jupes courtes.
Je voudrais pas crever avant l’été prochain.

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.
We also highly recommend to visit sour 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 months and years of restrictions drag on, but no power in the world can stop Max and the girls from doing what they love!
Today we celebrate David Hamilton’s birthday and to mark the occasion Max has released a brand new video with some pictures from the last few months.
We hope you will enjoy it!
We also invite you to visit the blog of Olivier Mathieu, who recently published his new book “Another sip of Sunshine”.
There is also an article on his site in honour of David Hamilton, with some of his most beautiful photographs.
Enjoy!
As always the pictures in the video and on our site are available in different sizes and strictly limited to 300 copies.

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).
