Summary/Abstract: In the article I propose an analysis of both the opinions about “the end of art,” that have been appearing for a long time and the changes in understanding the meaning of symbols in culture. In connection with the problem of symbols, I refer to the philosophy of Hans Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, as well as to the personalistic hermeneutics of Luigi Pareyson. Asking if there exist such concepts of culture that would make the use of the term “end of art” irrelevant, I answer yes and I give the example of the concept of form by Pareyson. Additionally, I make the point that Pareyson’s form is a symbolic one. Finally, I try to outline a hermeneutic interpretation of one of the art works shown at the 54 Venice Biennale
