The aim of the article is to put forward and analyze the concepts of symbol and allegory developed by chosen representatives of the Lvov-Warsaw School, in particular Kazimierz Twardowski, Wladyslaw Witwicki, Stanislaw Ossowski, Mieczyslaw Walfisz-Wallis, Leopold Blaustein and Izydora Dąmbska. Whilst defining symbols in science and technology does not present any difficulty for the representatives of the School, defining symbols in art is a challenge. The analysis of papers of School’s members in the domain of art theory and semiotics shows the evolution of the concept of symbol.
