Interposition is the principle of perceiving objects that block or overlap other objects as closer. By painting the bear in front of the trees or other objects in the forest, Pierre can create the illusion that the bear is closer and in the foreground of the painting. Gestaltian proximity, closure and common region are other principles of perceptual organization, but they do not specifically address the perception of depth or distance.
