He studied art in Europe, including at the Académie Julian in Paris, and returned to South Africa where he became a prominent figure in the art scene. Goodman's work often depicted the beauty of the South African landscape and the unique architectural heritage of the region, capturing the light and atmosphere with a distinctive impressionistic style.
