variables in aesthetic value

what makes art prepared for (lack a better word) consumption for the masses? If you've been working on something for years, how could something whipped up in five minutes have a higher aesthetic potential than the work that was in progress for years? There is a latent process beneath creation that gives something its aesthetic value. Is there something to be said on how a moment can affect your perception? Are certain moments more 'special' than others? The time invested in a body of work alone does not contribute to a higher aesthetic value.

A multitude of variables -- latent and visible contribute to these values. What are they all? I guess the majority of art depends on you Being at the right place at the right Time. I think I need an anaesthetic to stop my mind from ruminating on these aesthetics.
