Does ‘művészek’ mean strictly ‘painters’?

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

    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)

      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.

        why insult them in the first place?
