I have no idea what this means

Posted By: MW

Visually speaking, gestalt means that the constituent elements of an object cannot be separated from the whole. So to refer to a T206 as a "warm gestalt" would be rather confusing since T206s are printed quite plainly with distinct and separate registrations (well, except for those with overprints, ghosted images or big black smudges). My impression is that someone took a psychology class and tried to apply a highly symbolic term to a physically discreet object. Or maybe someone was "high" when the descriptions were written and everything just kinda blended together in a "warm gestalt". Hmmmm...why is it that the word "malapropism" comes to mind.
