Template:Short description Cubomania is a Surrealist technique of making collages by cutting an image into squares and reassembling without regard for the original image at random[1][2] to create something new.[3]

The technique was invented by the Romanian surrealist Gherasim Luca.[4][5] Luca introduced cubomania at two exhibitions in Bucharest, in 1945 and 1946, and in small publications.[6] Luca positioned cubomania as a mix of Karl Marx's and André Breton's ideas. It was a critique of the alleged objectivity of social conditions and rejected the tyranny over liberty.[6]

It has been described as a "statistical method".[7]

Penelope Rosemont and Joseph Jablonski have suggested that cubomania can "subvert the enslaving 'message' of advertising and to free images from repressive contexts."[8]
