You can read about it here:

http://www.gtk.org/documentation.html

gdk wraps the business of creating a window and getting events, cairo
does low-level drawing, glib does data structures, utility functions
and event loops, gobject is the object model, pango renders text,
gdkpixbuf loads and transforms images, gtk issues all the drawing
commands to display widgets, your application does everything else.
