Morphology
The meaning 'a group of artists sharing a common style' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'artistic' (connected with art) and 'movement' (a collective pursuing shared goals). This adjective+noun composition follows a common and cross-linguistically familiar pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase artistic movement comes from the simple image of artists 'moving' together toward one idea: the word movement suggests people going the same way while artistic shows it is about art. That's why it means a group of artists who share a common style or way of thinking.
