OUR HOSPITALITY (1923), original movie poster artwork by John Mauritz Åslund.

OUR HOSPITALITY (1923), directed by and starring a masterful Buster Keaton, is a pivotal work in the comedy genre, which until then had been dominated by slapstick and endless police chases.

With this movie, Keaton revolutionized the genre, as it included a careful integration of gags into a dramatically coherent plot, meticulous attention to period detail, and beautiful cinematography as well as extensive outdoor filming, in considerable contrast to what had been shot in Hollywood up to that date.

This striking painting is the original movie poster art created by John Mauritz Åslund, for the 1923 release of that film in Sweden. Definitely, an antique piece of art that is already more than 100 years old.
