Musicant was the son of a carpenter and born in Philadelphia in 1921. An artist since childhood, after high school, Musicant attended the Pratt Institute in New York from 1939-1941. However, his art studies would be interrupted by World War II as he served his country in the United States Army Air Force, seeing action in England.
