The monosandaloi are represented in a suspended, unfinished narrative moment intended to draw the spectator's attention and propel him or her into a contemplative exercise. They create a productive tension with which the viewer wrestles while attempting to better know and understand the divine.

Fibonacci Academic Press, San Francisco in cooperation with the Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection, Novi Sad and the Milan Konjović Gallery, Sombor, 2014.
At the end of 2014, a representative publication Flat Horizon was published by Fibonacci Academic Press from San Francisco, in cooperation with the Memorial Collection of Pavle Beljanski from Novi Sad and the Gallery "Milan Konjović" from Sombor. The Life and Art of Milan Konjović, edited by Dr. Jasna Jovanov and Dr. Ana Novakov. In accordance with the already confirmed importance of the artistic personality of Milan Konjović, the editors of the publication gathered a team of associates from Serbia and the United States of America, of proven scientific and professional integrity, for the realization of a complex research project. The result of this successful cooperation is the mentioned collection of works, a kind of monograph by Milan Konjović performed according to the highest standards of not only local, but also international practice.
Publications on national art published abroad, which promote not only the work of artists but also cultural heritage, are a rare occurrence in our historiography in which certain artistic phenomena and personalities have not yet been adequately valorized even within the domestic public. Milan Konjović (1898–1993) belongs to authors from the Yugoslav area whose painting already during his artistic development exceeded the framework of the national and became a part of the international cultural scene. His biography and opus are known to the domestic professional and general public, and an international group of researchers viewed them from different angles, which further contributed to a better understanding not only of painters, but also of time and artistic phenomena that surrounded and inspired him. Thus, in addition to introducing the foreign public to the personality and work of Milan Konjović, this edition also provides new possible interpretations to domestic experts. Along with the contribution to the popularization of the artist and his work, revealing and special emphasis on hitherto unknown or insufficiently researched segments of Konjović's life, it is especially worth emphasizing the long-term research work of each collaborator and reading known facts in a new methodological key. Special mention should be made of the efforts made by the editors of the publication, Jasna Jovanov and Ana Novakov, to connect these texts into a single whole, as well as the success of harmonizing them with the requirements of the modern approach in professional historical and artistic theory.
The 295-page publication begins with introductory texts by Irma Lang, Milan Konjović’s Legacy: Reflection on a Lifetime of Achievement and Dr. Jasna Jovanov and Dr. Ana Novakov, Flat Horizon. The text by Irma Lang represents Milan Konjović seen through the eyes of his long-term associate and the first curator of the "Milan Konjović" Gallery in Sombor. Irma Lang provides a framework for further texts by Dr. Jasna Jovanov, Dr. Ana Novakov, Sava Stepanova, Ana Rakić, Maja Marković, Rozice B. with a chronological review of Konjović's life and work, with special insight into his exhibition activities and the formation and work of the Gallery. Schroeder (Rossitza B. Schroeder) and Dr. Ljubomir Milanovic. The texts, historiographically and methodologically grounded in contemporary historical and artistic theory, provide new views of Konjović's work, from its beginnings in Prague, through his career in Paris, during and after World War II and finally his later achievements, thus confirming the various possibilities of reading art. opus.
Within the publication itself, Konjović's life and artistic development are followed through three clearly separated units: Background And Early Years, Konjović At Mid-Century and Art And Religion.
The first part introduces readers to the formation, painting and life of Milan Konjović in Prague and Paris through the texts of Jasna Jovanov, Milan Konjović in Czechoslovakia and Ana Novakov, From London to Monsouris: Milan Konjović’s Three Paris Studios. Jasna Jovanov's text sheds light on Konjović's education in Prague, where as a young painter he sought inspiration and discovered the limits of academic art education. Ana Novakov follows Konjović's rise on the international Parisian scene between the two world wars through the Parisian studios in which the artist created.
The second set, with texts by Sava Stepanov, Milan Konjović’s Painting during World War I and World War II, Ana Rakić, People 1951 and Maja Marković The Nude in Milan Konjović’s Oeuvre, reveals the development of Milan Konjović’s career in the middle of the 20th century. Sava Stepanov's text follows Konjović's painting during the wars: the First and Second World Wars and the captivity in Osnabrück. One of the limits of the artist's mature expression, the exhibition People from 1951, is processed by the text of Ana Rakić. Konjović's thematic focus in this period is on the landscapes and people of his native Vojvodina, and the influences of the Prague and Paris periods served as the basis for painting in his homeland. Thematic units in his oeuvre, such as nudes, are also considered in the text by Maja Marković.
Within the third part, the relationship between the artistic and the religious in the works of Milan Konjović is followed through the texts of Rozica B. Schroeder, The Visual Heritage of Mediaeval Serbia in the Art of Milan Konjović and Ljubomir Milanović, Structuring the Sacred in the Art of Milan Konjović. The authors discuss the later paintings of Milan Konjović, in which there is interest in medieval Serbian motifs and the incorporation of Byzantine religious symbols into contemporary art.
After comprehensive textual studies and biographies of experts, reproductions of Milan Konjović's work and rarely published documentary material (222 pages) accompanying the texts follow. The most significant works of Milan Konjović, which are kept by national cultural institutions, are reproduced in the color of top quality, which, along with the representative equipment of the edition, additionally contributes to the visual impression and adequate presentation of Milan Konjović's art.
The importance of the collection of works Flat Horizon should be especially emphasized. The Life and Art of Milan Konjović brings to the profession, emphasizing the most demanding part of every scientific-professional endeavor - research work. Thus, new generations have before them completed hitherto insufficiently researched parts of Milan Konjović's life and opus, and many complex aspects of the artistic trends of the 20th century are additionally clarified and approached, especially in those segments that are not accessible or easily understood at the level of national art history. In this way, the educational role of the publication is fulfilled.
After a long period, Milan Konjović's work is presented on a wider international stage on a scientific basis, and the texts of the most invited authors of the current art theory of art in the country and cooperation with foreign experts provide a new and fresh aspect in understanding his art. Within the framework of international recognition of the value of Konjović's opus, which is an inexhaustible source of new knowledge, this publication makes an exceptional contribution.
The importance of such projects for the popularization of national art outside the borders of our country, which reminds the professional and general public in the country and abroad of the greats of our art scene, contributes to the promotion of our culture internationally, which is one of the basic tasks of the profession. An exceptional success for domestic historiography was achieved with the publication of the monograph Flat Horizon. The Life and Art of Milan Konjović in the United States is a stimulus for new research endeavors, but also for new reflections on the role of contemporary art history.

His publications transformed the way art historians approach medieval art through his insightful integration of rhetoric, poetry and non-canonical objects into the study of Byzantine art. His ground-breaking studies of Byzantine art that consider the natural world, magic, and imperial imagery, among other themes, have re-defined the ways medieval art is interpreted. From notable monuments to small-scale and privately-used objects, Maguire’s work has guided a generation of scholars to new conclusions about the place of art and its function in Byzantium. In this volume, twenty-three of Henry Maguire’s colleagues and friends have contributed papers in his honour, resulting in studies that reflect the broad range of his scholarly interests.
