INTERPOSITION
Interposition creates an
impression of depth.
In the photograph shown here,
each woman partially covers,
or occludes, the woman behind
her. The partial covering of one
object by another, or
interposition, in pictures leads
to a definite impression that
one object is farther away than
another, as artists have known
for centuries. A momentΓÇÖs
reflection makes clear that it
will also do so in a real scene.
The depth implied by
interposition is logically only
the thickness of the occluding
object. Yet interposition is a
powerful cue to depth,
experiments show.
