Hallo! I’m conducting a scientific study to investigate the effect of knowledge on art perception. I want to explore if people enjoy art more if they receive background information about the artist weeks before they view his paintings. My problem is: I need a set of about 15 pictures (digital) inclusively a very short description for each picture which provides background information about it and helps the viewer to interpret it. The artist shouldn’t be extremely beknown jet because the paintings should be new for the people who participate in the study.   Can you recommend a specific artist or source that provides such material (e.g. a book or website that provides descriptions of a larger number of works of one not world-renowned artist); or do you have such material of your own work? (The medium should be paintings or drawings.) Many Thanks!

I appreciate where you are going with this study.  It would be nice to know if reputation influences opinion.  I think that we all suspect it does as it certainly has an effect on value.  But also depends on who you are asking.  There are many artists to choose from in the gallery.  You just need to ask them if they are willing to participate.  How many art critics are you going to involve.  You need a substantial number to achieve valid results.
