Friends with Fred Davis, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, and the artistic elite of Mexico, Arquin would compile a vast collection of photographic imagery that would become the cornerstone of Latin American studies throughout North America. Her extensive travels and own artistic pursuits culminated in a 1943 exhibition at the Benjamin Franklin Library. Diego Rivera praised Arquin's "ardent work and exuberance of style," explaining, "Florence Arquin sees with every pore of her skin. Her nerves absorb the vibration of color, the inflections of the forms, the quality of the earth, of the air, and of the light, for the purpose of synthesizing all of these in her painting" in the catalog preface.
