It is very well done with fine detail and layers of beautiful colors. Marcus Uzilevsky (1937 - 2015) was born in New York City to Russian and Polish immigrants. Encouraged at a young age to follow his natural inclination for art, Uzilevsky was formally trained in illustration. Upon completing his studies, Uzilevsky worked in the commercial art industry for an automobile accessory store. Though he was creating original works, Uzilevsky did not find commercial art to be the best outlet for his creativity. In order to fulfill this need, Uzilevsky taught himself guitar and eventually performed with Bob Dylan and the New Christy Minstrels under the pseudonym Rusty Evans. Through his musical expression, Uzilevsky rediscovered his passion for the visual arts. Uzilevsky moved to California in 1967 and began to attach his real name to both his visual works and composed music. In the 1970s, he began a series of landscapes inspired by the Marin hills. Famous for his intricate linework, Uzilevsky’s pieces display an unmistakable optimism: “I want the art and music I make to enhance each other so the total environment will have an uplifting effect”. Artist and musician Marcus Uzilevsky, a singer, songwriter and guitarist who performed as Rusty Evans, will be remembered at a public memorial set for 3 p.m. Jan. 16 at the San Geronimo Valley Community Center. Mr. Uzilevsky died Dec. 5 at his home in Woodacre at age 78. He had a history of heart disease, family members said. As a visual artist, he is best known for his “linear landscapes,” a series of paintings inspired by the natural beauty of Marin County that he began in 1970s, using multicolored horizontal lines to suggest hills, clouds, water and shorelines. As Rusty Evans, he was part of the 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene and was a member of the New Christy Minstrels. At the time of his death, he was performing locally and touring nationally in Ring of Fire, a popular Johnny Cash tribute band he formed in 1999. The band featured his son, Danny Uzilevsky, on lead guitar. Mr. Uzilevsky said it was Bob Dylan, a fellow struggling folk singer in the ’60s, who told him he should switch from folk to country music because his deep voice sounded so much like Cash. By then, he had already made his recording debut with the 1958 rockabilly single “I Lived, I Loved, I Lost” and “Midnight Special” on the Brunswick label. He later recorded a pair of albums as a folksinger, “Songs of Our Land” and “Railroad Songs.” A founder of a short-lived rock band called the Deep, which included multi-instrumentalist David Bromberg, Mr. Uzilevsky was among the first musicians to record psychedelic music. The group’s 1966 album, “Psychedelic Moods,” now a cult classic, is considered the earliest record to have “psychedelic” in its title. Mr. Uzilevsky studied art at the Pratt Institute and the School of Industrial Art in New York. His work is in numerous museum collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It was also featured in the Francis Ford Coppola-directed movie “The Rainmaker.” In 1982, he combined his music and art in “Linear Mode I,” a limited edition lithograph that included a vinyl record of eight of his songs. “I’d like to see art and music flourish side by side,” he said in an Independent Journal interview. He merged his art and music again in 1988, when the Arlington Symphony Orchestra in New York performed his “Folk Symphony for Sara” accompanied by projected images of his paintings. In the 1990s, under the pseudonym Uzca, he released a pair of world music and new age CDs, “Slice of Light” and “Gypsy Dreams.” Mr. Uzilevsky was born in New York City in 1937 to Russian and Polish immigrant parents. He had lived in Marin County since 1967. In addition to his son Danny, he is survived by another son, Scott Martini of San Rafael, a daughter, Boni Uzilevsky of San Francisco, and three grandchildren.
