This issue of Bravo places Suzi Quatro prominently on the front cover, promoting the feature “Suzi Quatro und die Liebe”. The striking full-colour portrait presents Quatro in the strong visual style associated with her early 1970s image, while the cover promises readers a feature centred on the subject of love.

Publication: Bravo

Date: October 18, 1973

Country: Germany

The October 18, 1973 issue of Bravo, numbered 43, features a large colour portrait of Suzi Quatro as the principal cover image. The photograph fills most of the page, making Quatro the dominant visual attraction of the issue.

The portrait shows Quatro reclining against an orange upholstered surface, dressed in a dark zipped outfit and wearing several layered chains around the neck. The photograph is tightly framed, while the pale blue background allows the portrait and the magazine's large red-and-yellow Bravo masthead to stand out strongly.

Among the cover lines on the left is the prominent announcement “SUZI QUATRO und die Liebe”, accompanied by red heart symbols. The wording translates as “Suzi Quatro and Love”, identifying the subject of the feature promoted inside the magazine.

Other cover stories advertised in the issue include a Gilbert O'Sullivan Poster & Star-Album, a photographic diary feature and an advice item concerning young people's relationships. However, Quatro's photograph occupies the overwhelming majority of the cover and provides its central visual focus.

CONTEXT AND NOTES

This Bravo cover demonstrates the strong emphasis the German magazine placed on large-format colour photography and major contemporary music stars.

The cover promotes Quatro through a combination of a full-page portrait and the simple feature line “Suzi Quatro und die Liebe”, without providing further details about the story itself. The supplied cover therefore documents the feature's promotion while leaving the contents of the accompanying article unspecified.
