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.
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."
