The actual article seems quite positive about her art. Why that title was written to sound so dismissive, I do not really understand, it’s not at all in line with the content. If her art was thought to be so irrelevant, it wouldn’t merit an article in the first place. Maybe it was meant to be positive by conveying her non-academic background and “natural”, intuitive approach to painting (I think that naïve/outsider art was already gaining some positive interest at the time).
It’s interesting that the article was written by a woman too.
Titles are typically written by editors, not the journalist who wrote the article. So what’s sympathetic article with a condescending headline makes some sense.
