== Life and career ==
Edelmann was born in [[Ústí nad Labem]], [[Czechoslovakia]], into the German-Czech family of Wilhelm and Josefa (née Kladivová) Edelmann. In 1946 his whole family – regardless of mixed ethnic roots – was [[Expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia|expelled into Germany]] and they settled in its [[West Germany|western part]]. From 1953 to 1958 studied printmaking at the [[Kunstakademie Düsseldorf]] (Düsseldorf Arts Academy). He began his career as a freelance illustrator and designer for theatre posters and advertising in West Germany.

Between 1961 and 1969 he was a regular illustrator and cover designer for the internationally renowned youth magazine ''[[twen]]''. During 1967–68, he worked on the film ''[[Yellow Submarine (film)|Yellow Submarine]]''. From 1968 to 1970 he was a partner in a small animation company in [[London]], but his desire at the time to work on more feature films was not realised. In 1970 Edelmann moved to [[Amsterdam]] and designed book jackets and posters for plays and films. His last use of the style of ''Yellow Submarine'' was in illustrating a book, ''Andromedar SR1'' (1970), about a voyage to [[Mars]]. He also designed the cover for a German edition of [[J. R. R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', and illustrated the [[Kenneth Grahame]] children's book ''[[The Wind in the Willows]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.escapeintolife.com/art-reviews/heinz-edelmann/|title=Heinz Edelmann|publisher=Escape Into Life|access-date=2020-04-14|archive-date=24 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924044520/https://www.escapeintolife.com/art-reviews/heinz-edelmann/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lambiek.net/artists/e/edelmann_heinz.htm|title=Heinz Edelmann|website=lambiek.net|access-date=2020-04-14|archive-date=22 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201122093631/https://www.lambiek.net/artists/e/edelmann_heinz.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
