Bell's Formula

(A&P) Here's the best I could do with Bell, taking into account his (viciously circular?) characterization of aesthetic emotion and significant form and objectivist account of the latter.

Art (Bell) = IapEAo/SF, where

I = intention
a = artist
p = produce
EAo = aesthetic emotion in an observer (who could be the artist him/herself)
SF = significant form

Suggestions welcome!
