I've removed for the second time a superlative that represents unsourced opinion. Christy was undoubtedly popular as a portrait painter in the 1920s, but is there a robust consensus of scholarly sources that would justify calling him the most popular? By what metric—international renown, or number of commissions, or sales prices—is his popularity being measured against that of contemporaries such as Philip de László, Kees van Dongen, Gerald Kelly, Moise Kisling, Tamara de Lempicka, Jacques Emile Blanche, Eugene Speicher, Augustus John, etc.?

The 1936 news item from The Nashville Evening Banner apparently doesn't mention portraiture at all and would be poor support in any case. I've edited to put the work he's better known for up front, and let the portrait client list speak for itself. It's impressive enough & needs no editorializing.
