Pieter Claesz, Vanitas Still Life 1630
Proximity is used by the artist when the ultimate goal is unity. To make separate elements look as though they belong together, proximity simply puts the elements close together. This still life painting shows several objects that do not necessarily relate to one another but are put together in a fashion of unity that visually ties them together so our eyes move smoothly from item to item as if they do belong together.
