One has to keep in mind that they were in the USA because he had commissions to make murals, therefore treating him as the arrived artist and her as an enthusiast isn't technically wrong.

Also covering her artistry isn't something a newspaper would do, if they didn't think that there wasn't something exciting about het art.

It sounds dismissive, but within the frame of a patriarchal society the article is actually quite positive of her works and may have contributed to het being taken seriously as an artist further down the road.
