Zum 150. Geburtstag von Thomas Mann widmet ZEIT GESCHICHTE dem Literaturnobelpreisträger eine Ausgabe, die nicht nur den Autor von Buddenbrooks und Der Zauberberg, sondern auch den politischen Menschen würdigt: einen überzeugten Demokraten, der sich offen gegen den Nationalsozialismus stellte. Für die Ausgabe hat Jindrich NOVOTNY c/o 2AGENTEN feinlinige, elegante Porträts gestaltet.
Jindrich Novotny was born in Louny in the Czech Republic and now lives in Hanover. His journey as an illustrator began when he was a small boy. Impressed by the elegance and expression of the illustrations in old adventure books, Jindrich began to draw. At school he designed flyers, posters, album covers, T-shirts and comics. Jindrich studied graphic design in Hildesheim and has been illustrating for renowned newspapers, notable magazines and various agencies ever since. He is inspired by everyday scenes: film sequences, random phrases and faces. For his lifelike illustrations he uses graphite, coloured pencils, acrylic and tusche. He works with clients such as 25h Hotel Hafencity, Autostadt, Captial, Das Magazin, Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, NZZ Geschichte, Süddeutsche Zeitung, ZEIT Geschichte amongst many others.
