I like a girl with a substantial bottom, ' said Renoir, drawing in the air the size bottom he preferred.

About This Quote

Renoir was a French painter who lived from 1841 to 1910. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the impressionist movement, which developed between 1874 and 1886. The quote comes from his 1907 book, Renoir. In it, he writes about the art of painting.

He writes, "I like a girl with a substantial bottom." When you write, "I like a girl with..." you're really asking about an ideal type of person. "I like a girl with..." is equivalent to saying, "I like this kind of girl" or "this is what I'm looking for."
