Shipping in USA $ 100. His father was the maritime painter Hermanus Koekkoek the Younger, who had recently moved to London to establish an art gallery. He often travelled with him to the Netherlands, where he worked with other members of the family; especially his uncle, Jan Koekkoek, who strongly influenced his brush style. He also spent a short time in Canada.In 1909, after his father died, he moved to South America and went to Bolivia, where he briefly attempted to become a mining entrepreneur.[1] He continued on to Valparaíso where he taught English. Finally, he settled in Mendoza, Argentina, where he married the sister of painter Roberto Azzoni (1899-1989) and had a son.[1] The marriage did not last very long, however, and he moved again; to Buenos Aires, where he shared an apartment with an aspiring poet named Jorge Uribe Escobar (1886-1919) and gained a reputation for eccentricity. He always wore a vest and a Stetson hat, carried a fancy cane, usually smoked a cigar, and was known as a heavy drinker who apparently liked his alcohol with a dash of Worcestershire sauce.[1] When his friend Uribe committed suicide, he became depressed, turned to drugs and became a morphine addict.[2] After 1926, he was often hospitalized in psychiatric institutions.[3] While there, he got permission to continue painting and many of his works were bought by his doctors. He also proclaimed himself to be Napoleon, but that was probably intended as a joke
