Well, like both of us said, it is subjective. For me, meaning is something that can be derived from looking at a piece of art. You can tell what means upon looking at it, with the obvious exception of random shapes. Meaning, when it comes to art, is also worth, to me. Is it worth looking at once the story gets boring? In your words, aesthetics. It has to play a part or there is no point.
In my opinion, most modern art is crap. Primitives had a better grasp of the fact that pictures needed to convey ideas without a novella about the "art of art" accompanying it. For me, art has been on a decline since the classical period. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a stained shirt somewhere on display as art.
