Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / January 2005Water bull
What is a "water bull"? Just a bull living near the water? Or some other animal (like, for instance, the "sea lion", which is not a lion at all, or the "bullfrog", that is a special kind of frog) ? Thank you  Signatureenrico /dot/ c /at\ people \dot\ it >What is a "water bull"? >Just a bull living near the water? Or some other animal (like, for >instance, the "sea lion", which is not a lion at all, or the "bullfrog", >that is a special kind of frog) ? Let's have some context. How was the term used? Could it be a typo for 'water bill'? John Ings <nodamned@spam.org> wrote: >>What is a "water bull"? >>Just a bull living near the water?

It's the title of an abstract work of art by the American painter Jackson Pollock http://images.google.it/images?q=tbn:O8K4LjC-TZkJ:www.modern-art-reproductions.c om/cartdata/uploads/1062490369_small-image_162_the_water_bull_c_1946_sm.jpg >Could it be a typo for 'water bill'? No :) BTW, I've just found this web page about mermaids, water-bulls and other supernatural creatures in the Isle of Man http://www.moonstonerp.com/mermaids.htm but I am not sure it's related to the painting.

Anyway, it's an abstract painting, even a full size pic would hardly help! :) SignatureEnrico C > >> It's the title of an abstract work of art by the American painter Jackson > >> Pollock If it's an abstract painting maybe its title is abstract too? >>>> It's the title of an abstract work of art by the American painter > Jackson >>>> Pollock > > If it's an abstract painting maybe its title is abstract too?
