At the height of his powers he was the most celebrated portrait painter in Britain, the leader of Bohemia, the darling of Belgravia. and his flamboyance bewitched men and women alike. In 1911 Augustus and his large family moved to Poole, Dorset, and later to Fordingbridge, Hampshire. Members of his family recall those days and speak of Augustus and Dorelia, the model who became his inspiration and life-long love.
