La tour Eiffel? From Guillaume Apollinaire's Calligrammes: Poèmes de la paix et de la guerre (1918). How can anyone really tell what's what via pictograms, cartoons, curves, shapes, forms and fields? Gestalt, or compare with Malcolm Gladwell's Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005). What the hell, what the heck! We can complete forms in our heads!
Sometimes, form throws the mind into a pickle jar of confusion. Here, the NUMBER ONE issue of VVV (that's three Vs, as in the 1963 Thomas Pynchon novel V. , but dating to 1942 and in trio rather than solo form, not quite a triptych). Surrealism in action! Is it a flying M or two mushed overlapping Ws or one inner V crowded by two outers? Is it Gestalt or Gefilte Fisch?

知道他有了外遇
面對他的低聲下氣妳冷嘲熱諷、無理取鬧
妳瘋狂似的大吵大鬧
甚至到他的公司去亂、向他的親友抱怨、向鄰居們哭訴…
妳把他的外遇鬧的人盡皆知
最後，妳把他的愧疚消耗殆盡…
最後，妳把他想要回頭的念頭打消…
最後，妳自己把他推向外遇的第三者身邊…

Apollinaire? Surely your heart must belong to Dada. :)
For a moment I thought we had a Wide W.
