    Based on a sculpture by Auguste Rodin. The band wanted to have a picture of the actual statue but couldn't get permission to use one, so instead they had two models painted and posed to recreate it.

    Comics an art form not mentioned yet, I guess. :)
    "Heroes To Zeros" has a lot of references. The cover illustration was designed by comic book writer and artist Kaare Andrews.

    A reproduction of Emile Théodore Frandsen de Schomberg's "La Fille au Bouquet" caught Eric Clapton's eye one day, and the result was the cover of quite possibly his best-known album.
