Perlrott's art is between the style of the Nagybánya school based on contrast of light and shadow and that of the Eights founded on structure. His art was influenced by German expressionism in the 1920s.
In the late 1920s, he often visited Paris to paint pictures of streets, houses and Quartier Latin. The style of these pictures was delicately cubist and decoratively colourful under the influence of Les Fauves, but it naturalistic above all.
"Street in Paris" has much in common with Utrillo's towns in form and atmosphere. Forms in a constructive style such as walls, roofs and attics, and horizontal and vertical lines of colourful shades over show-windows create the picture, but Perlmutter's geometry is softer and more colourful than that of the Eights appearing in the 1910s. A little of everything: a piece of structure, colours, and view, this is how Perlmutter's art can be summed up.
