Joni Mitchell
Fine art print,
Turbulent Indigo
is the 1994 album by Canadian singer-songwriter and painter Joni Mitchell. The album cover features a self-portrait painted by Mitchell, which is a tribute to Vincent van Gogh's famous 1889 painting, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear.
Mitchell's painting was a form of commentary on her own struggles with being an artist. She felt undervalued in the music industry at the time and, rather than physically harming herself like Van Gogh, she "did it in effigy" by painting herself in his style. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package in 1996 for its artwork. Mitchell has painted the artwork for many of her album covers throughout her career.
The original Van Gogh painting, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, is housed at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London.
