"Joan Dufault's work can best be described as a pictorial narrative. The words bring forth dramatic images, and the images explain the work with equal precision. There are few people whose work I have seen exhibiting her rare sense of humanity about the aging process, without sentimentality or banality. She makes clear both the plight, and oddly above all, the triumph of growing old. This is a beautiful document in the highest sense of the word beauty—as an inner expression of love."
Irving Louis Horowitz
"This is a superb work and very moving. As these older people tell their stories, what strikes one is how clear is their sense of where they have been, of chances won, or lost. Through their tales, we see that theirs is a tough minded perspective and hard gained, free of self-justification or sentimentality.
"This clarity of vision shows, in the photographs, too— look at the eyes, especially. Joan Pyle Dufault is a splendid observer and listener.
