The murals in the Brennan Courthouse (583 Newark Avenue) aren't tough to decipher. There are pilgrims, there are patriots, and there is Hudson County history rendered in the boldest strokes. Look to the underside of the building's grand dome and you'll find signs of the Zodiac; look to the walls for "The Coming of the English," a piece by Howard Pyle that depicts exactly what its title suggests that it will. This feels appropriate for the town's most handsome building — one with an interior reminiscent of classic civic architecture in Trenton and D.C. and the decorated Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, and named after a jurist whose written decisions on the Supreme Court were distinguished by their clarity. William Brennan believed in the salutary effects of direct and comprehensible language. For him, the law was no place for abstraction.

Suddenly, the galleries in the Garden State are suffused with sunshine. The big ball of fire in the sky has gotten down to business, and curators have been keen to pick pieces that reflect the effects of the rising mercury. Galerie Lucida in Red Bank — a favorite among Jersey City artists — launched a summer-themed show. In McGinley Square, the curators at Crema assembled their own crew for a visual commentary on the warm months; Project Greenville mounted a group show dedicated to representations of parks and greenspace; Drawing Rooms switched on an aesthetic equivalent of lightbox therapy with an exhibition that celebrated the color yellow. Art spaces have become tanning mirrors, capturing light and refracting rays toward our retinas.
