To Kill a Mockingbird

Interpretation vs.Senses</span>
Scout is a highly sensitive child. Her ears and eyes are wide open but because of her age, Scout cannot render true meaning from all she observes. As she acquires more learning experiences, she becomes more adept at understanding what is really going on below her surface observations. For example, Atticus must correctly interpret for Scout the confusing incidents of her first day of school, yet much later on she is able to read Mr. Underwood’s editorial about the senseless killing of Tom Robinson and understand the meaning behind the words:
Then Mr. Underwood’s meaning became clear: Atticus had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts of men’s hearts Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed. (Lee, 1960, p. 266)
I believe the answer is internal belief.
"of the time" refers to the attempt of the artists to create an art piece that would reflect the contemproary culture.
Explanation:
Minimalist art forms refer to the use of either single or repeated patterns (mostly geometrical) in the creation of modern art piece.
The use of the term “of the time” refers to the activity of minimalist artist like Donald Judd to make an art of contemporary times. This was done by using the material which was at use contemporarily along with contemproary practises.
Donald Judd used to belong to the industrial or machine culture where most of the things were machine-made and not made by the artist himself rather industrial workers, hence he used bronze in the form of thin machine-made sheets which conformed to the machine culture.
These minimalistic art pieces later influenced the development of modern skyscrapers and many design firms.
