With the liqueur paintings, a new style of painting was born
Udo Lindenberg broke with all traditions in creating his artwork, giving birth to so-called "Likörelle" (liqueurpaintings were created using high-quality liqueurs and watercolors. For example, he used eggnog to apply yellow to the paper, while Blue Curaçao provided a rich blue.
Since the liqueurs only provided a subtle color, Lindenberg gave his paintings even more expression with vibrant watercolors. Ultimately, the luminous colors became the hallmark of his extraordinary works. Lindenberg's liqueur paintings are as original as they are unique, so much so that the singer patented this painting method.
