Ilka Gedő (1921 – 1985). Hungarian painter and graphic artist.
In the first stage of her career, which came to an end in 1949, she created a huge number of drawings (especially self-portraits), that can be divided into various series. From 1950 on, Gedő did not take part in art life. Her interests turned to the philosophy of art, art history and colour theory and translated extensive passages from Goethe's theory of colours. From 1964 on, she resumed her artistic activities creating oil paintings.
In 1946, she married the biochemist Endre Bíró, from whom she had two sons.
