In “The Rollercoaster Life of an Iconic Art Deco Painter Known as “The Baroness with a Brush””, “Emma Taggart” covers the turbulent life of Tamara de Lempickta, a famous polish painter of the 19 century.
The article is about the life of Tamara throughout the century, from her beginnings and exposure to art, moving forward to the re-evaluation of her work after her death.
Emma points out how Tamara was always exposed to art and quickly became part of the Parisian scene with her vivid colours and style.

At the same time, a chunk of the story is dedicated to her personal scandals, as the author describes Tamara was known for her crazy parties and sexual appetite which led also to a breakup with the husband.Emma tells us how then her work started to decline because of the rise of Expressionism and, although Tamara tried to adapt to this new style, it didn’t help her fame anymore, living the last part of her life with the daughter and stopping the exhibitions.
The author ends then article talking about the renaissance of her work that got picked up again around the 70s and now after her death in 1980 is extremely popular amongst celebrities.

Top marks on this @Andrea.Grassi well done:
✅ you used your own words
✅ you identified the main idea
✅ you found relevant ideas & omitted irrelevant details
✅ you kept the meaning the same
✅ you used attributive tags
✅ you kept your opinion out of it
Let’s have a look at some corrections:
>Polish needs a capital letter
>I suggest these changes, including a word order change, to make easier reading:
At the same time, a chunk of the story is dedicated to her personal scandals. As the author describes, Tamara was known for her crazy parties and sexual appetite which ALSO led to THE breakup with HER husband.
> I suggest these changes, try not to make your sentences too long:
Emma tells us how (delete:then) her work started to decline because of the rise of Expressionism and, although Tamara tried to adapt to this new style, it didn’t help her fame anymore. She lived the last part of her life with HER daughter and didn’t do any further exhibitions.
> The conclusion is good, but if we add a few commas and the word ‘it’, it would be even better! Where would you add these?
