Goodman’s paintings had a considerable impact on South African art, particularly influencing the landscape tradition, as well as encouraging the young Gregoire Boonzaier. The London Times referred to him as the founder of the South African school of landscape painters (Newton Thompson, 1951). His biographer, Newton Thompson describes his work as follows: its dramatic sense of colour, its self-confidence; the profound affection it shows for the beauty of our own country; its admirable drawing; its technical elegance; its superb brushwork.
