The article critiques celebrity artists, particularly focusing on actors like Johnny Depp who transition into the art world. The author argues that despite their success in acting, many celebrities create art that is uninspired and lacks a genuine artistic value. Depp's debut collection, selling for $3.6 million, is highlighted as an example of this phenomenon. The author acknowledges the subjective nature of art but asserts that some celebrity art feels empty and superficial, drawing a comparison to the work of established artists who bring a deeper intent to their creations.

They mean nothing. Soulless reproductions of images that don't even convey the artist's obvious respect of the subject.
