Arnold Frederick Goodwin (1890 – 1978) was a British-New Zealand printmaker.
Goodwin was born in Leicester, England in 1890 to parents George and Florence. He studied at the Leicester School of Art and the Académie Julian,[1][2] and briefly worked in New York[3] before immigrating to New Zealand, where he settled in Auckland in 1913. He worked as a printer for Chandler & Co and The New Zealand Herald, before starting his own advertising company, and the Carlton Art Studio. In 1916, with his friend Thomas Gulliver, he founded the Quoin Club to promote graphic and print art in Auckland.[4]
Later in life he was director of design and applied art at the Elam School of Fine Arts, and was involved with the Auckland Little Theatre Society,[1] where he designed sets and performed as an actor and marionette puppeteer.[5]
