A Little Yes and a Big No (German: Ein kleines Ja und ein großes Nein ) is the 1946 autobiography of German artist George Grosz . The first edition was published by Dial Press in New York City, and was translated by Lola Sachs Dorin.

In 1982 a new translation by Arnold Pomerans of the 1955 German edition was published by Allison and Busby as The Autobiography of George Grosz: A Small Yes and a Big No . ^{[1] [2]}

In 1998, the University of California Press published a 1955 translation of Grosz's text by Nora Hodges, entitled George Grosz: An Autobiography . The 1998 edition includes the chapter "Russia in 1922" which did not appear in the 1946 edition. In this chapter, Grosz recounts his five-month tour of Soviet Russia's most famine-stricken areas. Barbara McCloskey writes in the foreword to the 1998 edition: "Grosz rejects any glimmer of the revolutionary idealism that we might have expected from a young, radicalized artist. Gloom and suspicion, not optimism and hope, define his vision of the new Soviet regime."
