Traditional western art theory that separates the figure (object) from the ground in terms of perspective, lighting, colour, or sharpness. There is a tendency of the mind to separate any stimuli (visual, auditory, olfactory) into the categories of figure and mind, one being clear and the focus of attention, the other being relatively vague, shapeless and irrelevant.
When a person is presented with an ambiguous image, one that does not make immediate visual sense, this law identifies our overwhelming tendency to simplify the object into something easy to comprehend, rather than assume (often more accurately) that it is a piece of something larger and more complicated taken out of context.
One of the strongest indicators of relationships between subjects. This principle makes subjects seem more similar proportional to their physical distance from each other.
