Tom Wesselmann was an American Pop Artist. He was an Army Veteran who made cartoons while he was stationed stateside.After being discharged from the Service, he earned his Psychology degree. He managed to sell a cartoon here and a cartoon there, but it wasn't until he was inspired at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, to feel a visceral feeling with art. He shunned action painting and instead focused on pop art. Hence some of his better known pieces like the "Mouth" works and the Great American Nude.
