reception during his life

[anna901]

Hi,

I would really appreciate some help... I'm writing a project in French about Cézanne. In English the title is "Paul Cézanne : his contributions and his reception during his life and nowadays." (It sounds slightly clumsy because it's a quick translation back from French.)

I'm having trouble expressing the idea of "reception". I don't want to use "son accueil" because I want the word reception to incorporate how he was received both personally and critically. Would accueil work? Or could I use something else?

Merci d'avance pour vos idées !

De son influence, et de la façon dont il fut perçu, de son vivant comme de nos jours.

Heu... c'est pas simple...

Ben c'est beaucoup plus sophistiqué que le terrible français que j'écris ! Mille mercis !

sa reconnaissance ? mais c'est moins neutre
