The cartoonist André Gill transforms himself into an agile rabbit to escape censorship. I discovered André Gill's work by watching an animated short film directed by my great-grandfather, O'Galop. It depicted an insane man struggling in his straitjacket. It was a nod to the cartoonist André Gill who ended his life in the Charenton Asylum. The film has fun playing the creator André Gill and his creature, a Gill Rabbit, in order to escape the censorship represented by the police prefects, the government and the allegorical figure of Anastasie. The situation takes place at the time of the cabarets chansonniers of Montmartre, one of which bears his name : Le lapin agile / The agile rabbit André Gill was so victim of the censorship that he represented him under the features of Anastasie. The era was ferocious with artists and freedom of expression was put under the stifle. The film features a Rabbit very much a Gill to participate in the enactment of this Law for the Freedom of the Press in 1881. See less
