artistic

'regarded as aesthetically admirable' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'about time satiric work' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'work' indicates anagramming the letters.
'satiric' is an anagram of 'aristic'.
't' placed into 'aristic' is 'ARTISTIC'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for artistic that I've seen before include "Naturally creative" , "crafty!" , "Having a creative imagination" , "(Musical) work" , "Having creative skills" .)
