Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'lampoon' (a satirical piece or ridicule) combined with 'artist' (a person who creates art) yields an artist who produces lampoons or satirical works. This follows ordinary English noun‑combination patterns and is cross‑linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun lampoon artist comes from the old word lampoon, which one popular story says began as rude songs or verses that made fun of important people. So an artist who makes sharp, mocking pictures became known as a lampoon artist, and that's why the phrase means someone who 'mocks' or 'criticizes' people with funny but harsh art.
