| Citation: | Art News v86 (May 1987) p. 25. [color] and Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans |
| Index Words: | haycart, wagon, hayfield, mules, haycocks, workers, race, mistakes, rice |
| Place: | South Carolina |
| Notes: | No fewer than 23 African American field hands, can be counted in this scene of plantation hay farming. The stubble looks as straight-edged as straw, but the workers, men and women, are evidently engaged in building large haycocks and loading a large wagon, pulled by two mules. In the left distance at the end of a row of trees is apparently a factory with a tall, smoking chimney. After writing this annotation, I discovered the original work at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Unlike the title given in Art News the Ogden title is 'Rice Harvest' -- more plausible, alas, than the one first found. We'll leave it in the database, relegated to the 'mistakes' category. |

| Citation: | Vlach, John Michael. The planter's prospect: privilege and slavery in plantation paintings. Chapel Hill: UNC Press, 2002, p. 163 |
| Index Words: | rice-fields, race |
| Place: | South Carolina |
| Notes: | Chapter 7 of Vlach's monograph is devoted to Smith's lovingly documented rice plantation series. The rice appears to have been gathered loosely rather than in sheaves, and so its appearance -- in field heaps, in boats, and in stacks -- closely resembles its northern equivalent, hay. Smith 'created a set of pleasant images in which the cruelty and violence that undergirded so much of the plantation system were visually neutralized.' [p.175] |

| Notes: | Smith's nostalgia for the pre-bellum south of her plantation-owning ancestors is no more evident than in this image. She rendered 'chattel slavery not merely as a tolerable system but as a benign institution.' [p.174] |
