Widely regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Joni Mitchell is depicted here lightheartedly posing with her hands on her hips and a cigarette between her teeth. Known for bringing his subjects to life, Mark Seliger captures Mitchell’s effervescent personality in this photograph. The winner of 8 Grammy Awards, Joni Mitchell’s 1971 album “Blue” was rated the 30th best album ever made by Rolling Stone Magazine.

Executed in the second half of the 20th century, this gelatin silver print measures 17 ¾ x 14 inches (sight). Not examined out of frame; presumably excellent original condition.
