by visual superimpostions
or 'by superimposing images' (i like this one)
or 'by layering' (this might be the most direct and comprehensible)
"However, depth is suggested, as in Cezanne's works, by a layering of depths" ??? - this means nothing and make no sense. If you refer directly to some works my Cezanne or Renoir, it is clearer (that being said art criticism can be verbose and incomprehensible)

the layering of depths
an idea
yes, it is talking about foreground, middle distances and background - but how to express it economically?
Anyway, I rather like "layering"
