Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'art' (works of art) + 'critic' (someone who evaluates or comments) yields a person who evaluates art. This is a regular noun–noun/compositional modifier pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
Art critic combines art and critic. A critic is a person who 'judges' or explains the good and bad parts of a work, so an art critic looks at paintings and sculptures and writes or talks about their quality.
