"Nem művészek vagytok, hanem színészek."

Translation: You are not artists, but actors.

[Ishana92]

Cant they be both?

[Liggliluff]

And an actor is kind of an artist too

[AnCatDubh]

Does ‘művészek’ mean strictly ‘painters’?

[vvsey]

No, it does not. So, this sentence does not make too much sense to me, either. But the translation is correct. :)

[Tire_Iron]

As a cynical person, it makes perfect sense to me, they're insulting actors because they don't think acting is art! :D

(I'm sure that's not really the case but hey, at least it's a context that makes sense)

[vvsey]

Yes, it does make sense. :) We could replace "hanem" with "csak" ("only") for a more obvious insult. We could go further by calling them "komédiások". But they may not all take it as an insult.
