Greetings. I purchased this painting from Japan. Can anyone identify the author? He seems to me to be a "modernist" painter (Kokei Kobayashi, Yokoyama Taikan, etc.).
Thanks for your attention.

Signature,
卓二畫　-　Painted by Takuji

Unfortunately, the seal imprint is not clear enough to decipher.

Most probably Koide Takuji 小出卓二 1903-1978
Western style painter from Osaka.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Many thanks Mr. Nagy! I searched online, but the painter's Western-style images don't look much like this one. Could it be that he has adopted different styles over time? If I can get a better picture of the seal I will make another post. My best regards,
Gabriele

Dear Mr. Nagy,
I am sending this clearer photo of the seal and one of the writing on the back, hoping that you can help me further. Best regards, Gabriele

I can　only read the first two characters of the seal、but this is a leisure seal with the slogan of the painter.
樂在xx Taking delight in xx
　
Back　side,　　
湖上の月　-　Moon over the lake　（Title）

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you for your further reply Mr. Nagy.
My regards,
Gabriele
