"Buster Keaton L’Opérateur (The Cameraman)" Buster Keaton. By Jean A. Mercier, c. 1928. Color lithographic poster.: Film comedian Buster Keaton is both behind the camera and in the spotlight in this image, made by French poster designer Jean-Albert Mercier at a time when Keaton claimed his silent movies actually did a bigger business in Europe than in America. This poster for Keaton’s movie The Cameraman attracts attention with brilliant colors and clever geometric stylization of forms. But it also advertises the latest film by incorporating two of the actor’s trademarks: the deadpan, expressionless face and a lively chase scene pitting the agile human figure against relentless mechanical forces.
