Symbolism is always important, or nobody would have bothered producing that silly-looking statue of an African woman purporting to be the symbol of Revolutionary France.
The “substance” is rather murky, anyway.

The Robespierre statue is usually in “Post Revolution Style”, or as he appeared from the neck down.
