 | | Divas are divas, and diva album cover art is a wonderful world of the good, the bad, and the ugly. |
 | | Diva cover art really took off in the 1950's with the advent of the long playing record (LP) and the large 12" by 12" surface to fill up marketing the artist and positioning her as glamorous, a serious musician, an accessible popular figure, an inaccessible goddess, or a host of other images. |
 | | Some beg one to ask "what were they thinking?" (the graphic designers and photographers in the first place, and then the divas and their agents for approving them). |
