Arthur Clive Howard Bell, British critic, proposed his aesthetic theory of significant form in Art in 1914.
The group of Bloomsbury associated Arthur Clive Heward Bell, an Englishman. He studied history at Marlborough and Trinity College, Cambridge, which educated him. Bell, one most prominent man, lived. Back at least to Immanuel Kant, peopel can trace the general view that properties of an object make something or define experiences. Bell found nothing else relevant about an object in any way to assess a valuable work. A painting for example represents something completely irrelevant to evaluating it. Consequently, unnecessary knowledge of the historical context or the intention of the painter for the appreciation of visual, he thought. "From life," "we need bring" "nothing," "no knowledge of its ideas and affairs, no familiarity with its emotions," ""to appreciate a work," he wrote.
The understanding of the notion differs. For Immanuel Kant, it meant roughly the shape of an object with as not an element. For Bell in contrast, "the" "unreal" "distinction," "you" can "conceive of" "neither" "a colorless space" nor a "relation." Bell famously coined the term to describe the distinctive type of "combination of lines and colors" which makes an object work.
Bell also claimed that the key value lies in ability to produce a distinctive experience in the viewer. Bell called this experience "emotion." It arouses that experience, as he defined it. In response to a work, we perceive an expression and thus experience emotion, he also suggested. The experience in turn sees pure ordinary objects in the world not as a means to something else but as an end, he suggested.
Ultimately, the value lies only in a means to "good states of mind," Bell thought. With "no" "more excellent or more intense" "state of mind" "than" "contemplation," Bell thought of visual works among the most valuable things. George Edward Moore, the philosopher, heavily influenced Bell like many persons in the group of Bloomsbury in his account of value.

Bell. the most world-centered of all the Bloomsbury Group, offers us in just a few pages (89) a thoroughly enjoyable and readable critique of Proust's life and work, readable with, for me, the exceptions of long quotations from Proust delivered in the original French and without translations. He begins his reading of Proust in a fit of jealousy, ends with a rather tempered appreciation, and in the journey between helps the reader find new depths of insight into a great work of art. An especially welcomed section on pages 55-57 gives me the best explanation of Bell's artistic ideal "significant form" as any I have yet read. So to, to wet my appetite for the philosophical, are a few great quotations to think over, including his statement, "Time overflows punctuation." Think about it...
