Biography from Hood Museum of Art
"Artist-musician Marcus Uzilevsky, aka Rusty Evans, dies at 78," Obituary, by Paul Liberatore, Marin Independent Journal, California, 12/15/2015. 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.
