The Self-Titled cover is impactful, hence why pink on black all-caps fonts are instantly associated with Beyoncé, the cover went through many revisions before achieving the desired punch and you can just stay mad that it's iconography is more memorable than a majority of your faves last album covers.
The album and it's visuals are link, and there's no reason why she should've done a typical pop-girl glamazon shoot when each of the visuals had associated photoshoots to represent the songs already. On that note, the single covers aren't video stills, they're actual photographs. There's a difference between taking a screencap of a video (a la the Glory cover) versus an actual photograph, hence why this was the booklet image for Flawless, but Beyoncé standing like this is not a scene in the videos.
You can try to spin this any way you want, but it's hilarious how you run into every thread looking to make a disparaging comment about Beyoncé, do something better with your time

The fact that they didn't even bother trying to edit it / add text to it is tragic (and no it's not artistic, it's lazy). Thank god for the deluxe cover, which is 10000% better (and the lack of text is actually fitting since she's not wearing any clothes either).
It dosen't need text the picture is stunning by itself
