The Effect of Tragic Artist Biography on Consumer Evaluation of Artworks
Our research proposes that providing a tragic biography of an artist enhances the perceived quality of the artwork by allowing people to appreciate the depth of expression in the artwork (“tragic artist effect”). We also show that this effect occurs independently of alternative processes—empathy, effort, and eudaimonic fulfillment.
