Title: Wonder, the Rainbow, and the Aesthetics of Rare Experiences. Why pause and study this particular painting among so many others ranged on a gallery wall?. In three instructive instances--a pair of paintings by Cy Twombly, the famous problem of doubling the area of a square, and the history of attempts to explain rainbows--Philip Fisher examines the experience of wonder as it draws together pleasure, thinking, and the aesthetic features of thought.
