Scobie, Stephen. Earthquakes and Explorations: Language and Painting from Cubism to Concrete Poetry (University of Toronto Press, 1997) begins with the Cubists' use of language and the gender narratives of early Modernist painting, then moves on via Apollinaire, Kahnweiler's history of Cubism, semiotics, Gertrude Stein, and Delauny to Gadji Beri Bimba and Ian Hamilton Finlay. Finlay is the argument's destination, and the book pivots, finally, on Finlay's relationships with Juan Gris and with the iconography of the French Revolution. A draft of the last chapter, "Models of Order," is included in Alec Finlay's Wood Notes Wild.
