I think the title is literally not reflected in the novel .. but on the other hand, throughout the novel we learned that it is a portrait of an artist as an artist throughout his whole life as a child, teen and young man. Any useful comment support my perspective!
I agree with the other guy. "The artist" is him–or Stephen Daedalus, and it’s simply a description of his development as an artist. You’ll see this theme throughout the book. He really focuses on experiences that had some kind of impact on Stephen/himself as an artist and contributed to Stephen’s artistic development.
On a side note, for a play on this idea, check out Dylan Thomas’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog.

I think he was just showing the development of an artist and what an artist goes through as a young person.
Wonderful book!
