Combine background size percentage, and background size cover

Here, I have some divs of various sizes, and I'm applying a background image to them:






div {
border: solid 2px red;
background-image: url('https://www.360nobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/lady-gaga.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

display: inline-block;
margin: 2em;

}

.a {
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
}

.b {
width: 200px;
height: 100px ;
}

.c {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}

<div class ="a"> </div> 
<div class ="b"> </div>
<div class ="c"> </div>





Now, I only want to display the image on the left half of the div, but I want it to cover the full height. The background shouldn't warp, instead it should zoom/stretch.



One way to do this is to add position right on it:






div {
border: solid 2px red;
background-image: url('https://www.360nobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/lady-gaga.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

display: inline-block;
margin: 2em;

background-position: top right 50px; //Actually in my situation I would just use vw;

}

.a {
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
}

.b {
width: 200px;
height: 100px ;
}

.c {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}

<div class ="a"> </div> 
<div class ="b"> </div>
<div class ="c"> </div>





But the problem with this is that it only shows the right hand side of the image, whereas in my scenario I want it to either show from the left, or show from the center.



Is there a way to apply a clip to the background image? My alternative solution is to lay a div on top to hide it.

I would consider a pseudo element that will be your background layer:






.box {
border: solid 2px red;
background-image: url('https://www.360nobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/lady-gaga.jpg');
background-size: 0 0;
display: inline-block;
margin: 2em;
position: relative;
}
.box:before {
content:"";
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
right:50%;
bottom:0;
background-image:inherit;
background-size:cover;
}

.a {
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
}

.b {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
}

.c {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}

<div class="a box"> </div>
<div class="b box"> </div>
<div class="c box"> </div>
