The Piano - A short history by John Meulkens
John Meulkens was born in London of Dutch parents and educated at St. Albans School and moved to Holland in his late teens. He is a friend of sculptor James Butler and a great admirer of his work. In his early years he qualified as an accountant. After working for Shell for a short spell, he joined Unilever. For a considerable number of years, he worked as a Management Consultant on assignments in most of the Western European countries, living with his wife Joanna, for some time in Athens, Madrid, Hamburg, Stockholm and Turku (Finland).
He has also written a book on James Butler: "James Butler. An Extended Personal View of a Collector" and on the occupation years: "Life in Holland during the German Occupation (1940-1945)".
Since then he has written a number of other books: "The Croix Rouge Farm Memorial" (bilingual English/French), "The Ultimate Experience" (describing a visit to the USA) and "The Joys of Collecting and Painting".
