The multimedia project “The Path to Abstraction” displayed on a Samsung Curved UHD TV

The exhibition features “Composition VI” and “Composition VII”—two of Kandinsky’s most well-known masterpieces—and was coordinated by the State Tretyakov Gallery and the State Hermitage with support from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. The show will run through June 13, 2016 at the Tretyakov Gallery on Krymsky Val in Moscow.

Also highlighted in the exhibition is “The Path to Abstraction,” a multimedia project that illustrates the process of formation of non-figurative painting on digital recreations of Kandinsky’s works. Using the artist’s commentary on his work process, the video sequences will help viewers to learn about and immerse themselves in the process of “cosmic performance” birth on canvas.

The video installation, which greets visitors in the entrance hall of the exhibition, is displayed on two 65-inch Samsung Curved UHD TVs.

“‘The Path to Abstraction’ demonstrates the process of the creation of art, along with a unique look at Wassily Kandinsky’s creative process and the formation principles he used in a rare virtual format,” said Irina Shumanova, curator of “Counterpoint: Composition VI – Composition VII.”

“For over 20 years, Samsung Electronics has worked closely with leading Russian cultural centers. We are happy to support the exhibition dedicated to the 150^th anniversary of abstraction pioneer Wassily Kandinsky, which was organized by the Tretyakov Gallery and our long-time partner the State Hermitage,” noted Natalya Malyova, the Head of Public Relations and Sponsorship Department of Samsung Electronics CIS. “Samsung’s advanced ideas and innovative technologies make it possible to illustrate the artist’s work in detail, immersing the audience in the creation of his masterpieces.”

Kandinsky’s works “Composition VI” and “Composition VII,” housed in the collections of the State Hermitage and the Tretyakov Gallery, were last exhibited together in 1989 in Russia. The use of modern technology allows the public to take a fundamentally new look at the creation and presentation of art.

About “Counterpoint: Composition VI – Composition VII”

“Counterpoint: Composition VI – Composition VII” is an exhibition based on the works of Wassily Kandinsky and organized by the Tretyakov Gallery and the State Hermitage. The last time these works were shown together was in 1989 in Russia. The dialogue of the two most famous 1913 works by Kandinsky will kindle an interest in the artist’s work in the new generation of art lovers. The communication with Kandinsky’s masterpieces will enable viewers to perceive the emotional and sensual world of his works and enjoy the “effect of presence” to the utmost. As an important addition, the exhibition will feature a multimedia project, “The Path to Abstraction,” which will show the process of the formation of non-figurative painting.

Earlier this year, Samsung wowed the world when it unveiled the Galaxy S6 edge. The flagship smartphone proved that not only was Samsung capable of producing a device with impressive specs and powerful performance, but also of creating gorgeous design. The design of the Galaxy S6 edge incorporated premium metal and ultra-strong glass, along with a stunning and unprecedented dual edge display.

For the Galaxy S6 edge+, Samsung took the great design and features of the Galaxy S6 edge, expanded its size and power, and introduced high-strength, durable 7000 Series aluminum—1.7 times stronger and 1.3 times more scratch-resistant than the alloy typically used in smartphones.

The Cutting Edge of Communication

With its curved 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED screen, the Galaxy S6 edge+ makes the edge experience even better than before, enhancing and simplifying the way users utilize their phone. The new “Apps edge,” for example, provides quick and simple access to frequently used apps with a simple swipe of the edge display, easily activated with a tap of the moveable, floating “handler” icon.

Similarly, the improved edge+ continues to enhance the way users connect with their favorite contacts. Whereas the previous version of the phone allowed one to quickly call, message or color-code pre-set contacts using the “People edge,” the latest model enables more enhanced interaction through features in which hand-written memos, emoticons and “pokes,” or vibration sequences, can be sent. These unique, non-verbal communication methods will no doubt catalyze a new way to connect as human interactions become increasingly digital.

Multimedia Like Never Before

In addition to being able to effectively communicate our emotions like never before, we also seek to share the special moments of our lives through images and videos, two forms of media that speak louder than words. As such, Samsung has designed the Galaxy S6 edge+ with loads of features that enhance the way we create, consume and share content.

With improved video capabilities, including “Steady Video,” which provides Video Digital Image Stabilization on both the front and rear cameras, users can film sharp, crisp videos anywhere, anytime, along with smooth and perfectly centered selfie videos. When combined with “Video Collage” mode, which allows one to record and edit short videos in various frames and effects, self-expression is limitless.

Similarly, the “Live Broadcast” mode in the native camera app ensures that life’s most memorable experiences can be shared in real-time by allowing users to directly live-stream Full HD video from their camera to any individual, group of contacts, or the public via YouTube.

Effortless Connectivity

Improved connectivity is another major feature of the latest addition to Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup. In fact, the phone has been upgraded to support SideSync, to allow for seamless cross-device connections. Easy installation and automatic connection between devices make tasks like accessing files or instantly responding to phone notifications on a PC as easy as a tap of a button.

This same effortless connectivity is also possible with Samsung Pay, a simple, safe and ubiquitous mobile payment system that will be available soon in Korea (on August 20) and the United States (on September 28), soon followed by U.K., Spain and China, as well.. In addition to being convenient, the service is a far cooler alternative to paying bills than toting around a bulky wallet.

Although the Galaxy S6 edge proved to be one of the fastest charging phones on the market, Samsung has increased charging speed even more with its latest product launch. So, whether you’re spending the day shopping, live broadcasting, chatting with friends, or doing all three, you can rest assured knowing that a full charge is only 90 minutes away with wired charging. In addition, you can charge the new device in approximately 120 minutes through Samsung’s latest wireless charger.

With impressive multimedia properties, seamless connectivity options and features that anticipate the communication trends of tomorrow, the Galaxy S6 edge+ promises to add value to the industry without sacrificing design.
