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<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> to create something new.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

The technique was invented by the Romanian surrealist Gherasim Luca.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Luca introduced cubomania at two exhibitions in Bucharest, in 1945 and 1946, and in small publications.<ref name="Fij">Template:Cite journal</ref> 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.<ref name="Fij"/>

It has been described as a "statistical method".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Penelope Rosemont and Joseph Jablonski have suggested that cubomania can "subvert the enslaving 'message' of advertising and to free images from repressive contexts."<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
