yes, this is possible, too. For example you can call the OS functions
without any layer between, like I've done with CL-Canvas:

But then you have to implement it for every OS yourself.

If you don't need the OS standard GUI elements, you can use OpenGL.
Together with Glut, is very easy and platform independant for 2D and 3D
graphics, including all the window and event handling.
