"Hannibal" found; and its "Great"


This painting "Hannibal," worth $8 million, by Jean-Michel Basquiat was smuggled out of Brazil somehow, was recently located in Manhattan. U.S. authorities found the painting in an Upper East Side warehouse in November 2008. “Hannibal” — described as an acrylic, oil stick and paper collage on canvas has a strong use of color and social commentary. What are your views of this eye-catching piece.

  1. I think it is great. I like the strong, emotive figure and the bold use of color.
