Abstract
It is shown that symmetry-dissymmetry relations in their organic unity describe structural, physical and artistic properties of science and art objects. Examples of generalized symmetry groups for geometrical figures and models of compound and imperfect crystals are given. Linguistic and artistic transformations of sign’s subsystems of artistic creations keeping their many level’s sense invariant are shown to constitute generalized symmetry groups of corresponding semiotic systems. Some applications of the generalized symmetry principle by Curie and Shubnikov are considered.
