Austrian Teenager Rejected from Art School

Text on the meme

The Guardian An Austrian teenager has been rejected from the British School of Art in Rome for being a "toxic" artist at work

What it means

A Guardian-style newspaper headline is placed above an illustration of a grim-looking World War I soldier standing beside a tank. The joke refers to Adolf Hitler, an Austrian who was rejected from art school before becoming a dictator, while “toxic artist” humorously foreshadows his later crimes. It is used as a dark reaction to someone being rejected or showing disturbing artistic behavior.
