[請益] notoriety 跟 poise 在文中的意思

[norge (Boston)]

一篇關於莫內的文章

Almost a century since his death, the French painter Claude Monet
enjoys near-universal notoriety. His depictions of the water lilies
in his pond at Giverny, outside Paris, appear on coffee mugs, posters
and coasters around the world, and have helped turn Monet into a
household name.

第二行，為什麼會用notoriety來形容莫內呢？
notoriety是比較負面的意思不是嗎？

另一篇關於Hvar小島的文章

Perhaps most paradoxically, Hvar (pronounced hwahr) has been a popular
resort destination for over a century, and yet it seems permanently
perched on the cusp of the-next-big-thing status. Beyonce, Prince Harry
and Tom Cruise have been among its recent visitors, and last year Time
Out Croatia ran a cover article headlined “The Rise of Hvar.” Now that
Croatia is a member of the European Union, Hvar is poised to gain even
greater popularity.

倒數第二行的 poised 要怎麼理解比較好呢？ 「準備好」？

→ yhli817: D 大的連結中有解釋這個單字的用法，不一定只能用在負面
