[7] Marín was the subject of portrait paintings by Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Juan Soriano.

[8][9][10] She is featured in the Rivera mural Creation, for which she modeled as Strength, Song, and Woman,[citation needed] and modeled nude as Earth for Rivera's Chapingo chapel mural while several months pregnant.

[12] Her book La Única was banned in Mexico for many years owing to its erotic nature.

[1] In 2003, the novel and Marín were cited by author Salvador A. Oropesa in his book The Contemporáneos Group as being a feminist component of a counterculture writers' movement in post-revolutionary Mexico.

A novel in Spanish about Marín and Rivera's time together, Dos Veces única by Elena Poniatowska, was published in 2016.
