Christy
studied
under
William
Merritt
Chase
,
who
encouraged
his
students
to
paint
their
subjects
in a
realistic
manner

young
artist
adopted
this
realistic
style
and
became
a
successful
illustrator

books

magazine
articles
. He also
painted
portraits

landscape
scenes
.
During
the

in
such
leading

became
known
as the "
Christy
Girl.
"
Christy
used
her
image
in
books
,
magazines
,
calendars
, and
even
patriotic
posters
.
During
the
next
decade
he
emerged
as
one
of
America's
most
popular
artists
and
illustrators
. He
returned
to his
childhood
home
in
Ohio
and
opened
his
own
studio
. His
fame
continued
to
grow
during
the
1910s
. He
returned
to
New
York
and
opened
a
studio
in
1915
.
During
World
War
I
he
drew
posters
encouraging
his
fellow
Americans
to
support
the
war
effort
.
Once
again
the "

artwork

painted
the
portraits

briefly
declined
during
